Ballot drop boxes are open for the Nov. 8 general election near the Edmonds Library, in front of the Lynnwood City Hall and at 10 other sites around Snohomish County.
The drop boxes have been open since county elections officials sent ballots to military and overseas voters Sept. 23.
That means that military voters stationed nearby — such as at Naval Station Everett — may already have voted.
Snohomish County sends ballots to most voters Oct. 20.
Voters may return completed ballots postage free at the 24-hour ballot drop boxes at any time until 8 p.m. Election Day.
The 24-hour ballot drop boxes are near the Edmonds Library, 650 Main St., Edmonds, and in front of the Lynnwood City Hall, 19100 44th Ave., Lynnwood. Others are at the Snohomish County Courthouse Campus at the corner of Rockefeller Avenue and Wall Street in Everett; in the Bothell QFC parking lot, 22833 Bothell-Everett Highway, Bothell; at McCollum Park, 600 128th St. S.E., Everett; and at seven other sites around the county.
A new ballot drop van will accept ballots at 23300 58th Ave. W., Mountlake Terrace, on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, only.
Voters also may drop completed ballots at the Snohomish County auditor’s office Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The office is on the first floor of the Snohomish County Administration West Building, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett.
The ballots go to voters registered as of Monday, Oct. 10.
New Washington voters can register through Oct. 31, but they must register in person at the Snohomish County auditor’s office in Everett.
Ballots returned through the mail must be postmarked no later than Nov. 8.
Accessible voting equipment is available in the auditor’s office through Nov. 8; at the Lynnwood Library Monday, Nov. 7, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and at the Medallion Hotel, 16710 Smokey Point Blvd., Arlington, Nov. 7 and 8.
