New voters can register for special election through Monday

Published 10:36 am Friday, January 29, 2016

New Washington voters can register through Monday, Feb. 1, to vote in the Feb. 9 special election, but they must register in person at the Snohomish County auditor’s office in Everett.

The deadline for registration by mail or online, or for previously registered Washington voters to file a change of address, was Jan. 5.

The county auditor’s office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Voters who register in person can either get a ballot by mail or vote on accessible machines at the elections office if they choose to wait for their registration to be validated through the state voter registration database, a wait that requires a few minutes.

The only item on south Snohomish County ballots is an Edmonds School District technology and capital improvements levy.
