Monday, April 25, is the last day before the May 24 presidential primary election for voters to register online or by mail or to update an existing registration.
New Washington voters may register through May 16, but after Monday, they must register in person at the Snohomish County Auditor’s Office in Everett.
Mail registration forms are available at the auditor’s office, 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Everett, at any local library or at some other government offices. Forms also are available online.
In person registration is at Snohomish County Elections, County auditor’s office, 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Everett, First Floor, Administration Building West.
Ballots will be mailed to most voters May 5. Snohomish County mailed ballots to military and overseas voters April 8.
Presidential primary results will determine how Washington delegates will vote on the first ballot at the Republican National Presidential nominating convention this summer in Cleveland. The actual delegates, who will be free to vote for any candidate after the first ballot, get chosen at the state Republican convention.
The presidential primary ballot will have both a Republican section and a Democratic section, but the Democratic ballot will have no effect. Washington Democrats determine their presidential delegates through caucuses and conventions.
