Monday, Jan. 11, is the last day before the Feb. 9 special school election to update an existing voter registration or to register to vote on line or by mail.
Voters can register through Monday on line, by mail or in person:
They can register on line until midnight Monday at https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/myvote/
They can send a registration form by mail as long as their registration material gets a Monday postmark. They can get material for mail registration at most libraries and post offices, at the Snohomish County auditor’s office in Everett, and on line at http://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/Print-Voter-Registration-Forms.aspx
They can register in person at the elections division of the county auditor’s office on the first floor of Administration Building West, 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Everett.
New Washington voters may register through Feb. 1, but they must register in person at the county auditor’s office in Everett.
The only item on local ballots is an Edmonds School District ballot measure. The school district includes Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Woodway, unincorporated areas around those cities, and part of the city of Brier.
Ballot drop boxes opened, Friday, Jan. 8, near the Edmonds Library, in front of the Lynnwood City Hall and at 10 other sites around Snohomish County. The drop boxes open early because officials mailed ballots to military and overseas voters Jan. 8. Ballots get sent to all other voters Jan. 21.
The February ballot measure is a replacement technology-and-capital-improvements levy.
Proposition 1 on local ballots would continue the existing technology-and-capital-improvements levy for four years. It would pay for instructional technology and building system improvements.
The proposition would authorize the District to collect between 56 cents and 59 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation on all property in the district.
The measure can pass with a simple majority. The election needs no minimum number of votes to be valid.
