New Washington voters can register through Monday to vote in the Feb. 14 special election, but they must register 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. 16.

The only item on local ballots is an Edmonds School District replacement technology and capital improvements levy.

Voters who register in person can either get a ballot by mail or vote on accessible machines at the auditor’s office if they choose to wait for their registration to be validated through the state voter registration database. County elections manager Garth Fell said Tuesday that validation takes “several minutes.”
