The deadline is Monday, July 18 to register to vote in the Aug. 16 primary in King County.

Ballots will be mailed at the end of July, and the deadline to return ballots is Election Day, Aug. 16, according to a King County Elections office media release.

“Every election brings interesting and important choices, but you need to be registered to vote,” said Elections Director Sherril Huff. “Voters who are already registered can help us make sure their ballots reach them and help lower election costs just by keeping their addresses up to date.”

Voters can check if their registration information is current by using Your Voter Guide online, by calling the Voter Hotline at 206-296-VOTE (8683), or by visiting King County Elections weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 919 Southwest Grady Way, Renton.

Voters who miss the July 18 deadline to update their registration should still contact the Elections office to update their information for future elections.
