ELECTION 2016: If you can’t wait to vote …

… the marquee at The Admiral is already reminding you that the waiting is almost over: King County Elections says it has sent ballots on their way today, so as soon as you get yours, you can vote. You can mail your ballot OR drop it in West Seattle’s new permanent ballot drop box at High Point Library (SW Raymond just east of 35th SW) – deadline is Tuesday night, November 8th. If you don’t see your ballot by next Monday (October 24th), KC Elections says, call them at 206-296-VOTE. In the meantime, you can see exactly what and who is on your ballot by setting up the customized voter guide via the KC Elections website.

P.S. The county has accessible voting centers to help voters with disabilities. Locations and dates are here – the one in Renton opened today.

67% of Americans don’t vote…and if they did, the people in office now. Wouldn’t be there.

Fill out our ballets people!

As for the ST3, Go get your car registration, look on the top line under value code. Take that number and multiply it by 0.004, Thats’ what you will pay in license fee’s for ST3. That value is what you paid for the car new and will still be same amount 10+ years down the road.

Thank you for a sensible response. In addition, one should look at their Property Valuation and tax bill for the past three years to gain a clear picture of the property tax implications (and likely increases) of ST3.

Nobody in my house has received a ballot. Have received ballots for all other elections. Seems like we should have ballots by now.

As we wrote, they were just mailed today. If you don’t have yours by Monday, call 206-296-VOTE.

Please vote Yes on i732 for a carbon tax because it’s very good policy and we can’t keep waiting for another (or no) climate solution!

I recommend the neutral, non partisan http://www.votingforjudges.org as a good site re: the judicial candidates. There are many on the ballot this year.

Sorry, comment time is over.
