Voters can use the accessible voting machine at the Lynnwood Library Monday and Tuesday.

The accessible voting site is designed to allow people with disabilities to vote in private, but anyone can use the machine.

The voting site is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

The Lynnwood Library is at 19200 44th Ave. W.

The only other voting machine in Snohomish County is at the county auditor’s office in Everett.

Voters who don’t use the machine can leave their completed ballots in a 24-hour ballot drop box outside the library. Other ballot drop boxes are at the Edmonds Library and at seven other sites around the county.

Snohomish County elections officials ask voters to avoid waiting until the last hours of Election Day to take ballots to drop boxes

Elections Manager Garth Fell says that long lines at ballot-drop sites are common on Election Day. He adds that officials accept ballots from anyone who is in a line at a drop site by 8 p.m. Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8.
