ELECTION 2024: Where to take your ballot

That’s the newest of West Seattle’s four King County Elections dropboxes, installed earlier this year on the west side of the 6400 block of California SW, by Morgan Junction Park. The dropboxes are open around the clock until 8 pm (sharp!) on Tuesday night – don’t roar up at 8:01 and expect a grace period. The other three, north to south, are:

South Seattle College (WSB sponsor) – 6000 16th SW, drive onto campus from south entrance on northbound 16th, If you’re driving or riding, this one brings your best chance of getting out of your car or off your bike to quickly deposit your ballot,

The Junction – South side of SW Alaska, east of 44th SW – the West Seattle Junction Association says traffic control is expected to be in place by 12:30 pm Tuesday

High Point Library – south side of SW Raymond just east of 35th SW

For those in southernmost West Seattle, the dropbox at White Center Library (1409 SW 107th) may be convenient. It’s on the east side of the building, off the parking lot. And of course, you can return your ballot via USPS mail – but ensure it’s postmarked Tuesday or sooner,

P.S. As of this morning, 48.7 percent of Seattle voters’ ballots had been received by KC Elections; here’s how to track the status of yours. … And our Election Night party list is up to five.

    Can’t believe how efficient they are – we dropped ours off at Morgan yesterday morning and they were already counted by day’s end.

      Same at Post Office – mailed in afternoon- arrived & verifed next morning.

        Wow! They must be speeding up the mailing and processing as election day gets closer. I mailed mine in a couple weeks ago and it took at least three days to process.

    We are so fortunate to have this system in Washington. I can’t imagine going back to long lines and missing work to vote.

    There were a LOT of ballots in the High Point Library Ballot Box yesterday afternoon. A huge shout out to the King County Election Workers!!

    Anyone else have a ballot dropped in on Saturday still not showing as received?We dropped our ballots in the box at South Seattle College early evening on Saturday, tracking still doesn’t show received yet today. Curious if they’re just processing a lot or if we should worry about contacting someone about a possible issue

      Hah, never mind, just changed to received. A watched pot never boils ;)
