Snohomish County voters should have ballots and voters’ pamphlets for the Nov. 3 General Election.
County officials ask registered voters who don’t get their ballots by Tuesday, Oct. 20, to contact Snohomish County Elections at 425-388-3444 or elections@snoco.org.
People who don’t get voters’ pamphlets can get them at local libraries.
Snohomish County mailed ballots Thursday, Oct. 15, by first-class mail to 422,000 voters around the county.
A state voters’ pamphlet and a separate local voters’ pamphlet went out at about the same time to all residential addresses.
General election races include county executive, assessor, auditor, clerk, sheriff and treasurer; a county council seat in council district 3, Edmonds mayor, and five council positions in Edmonds, four council seats each in Lynnwood and Brier, three in Mountlake Terrace and two in Woodway, four Edmonds school board positions, two commissioners each in Fire District 1, the Alderwood Water and Wastewater District, the Ronald Wastewater District, the Edmonds Port Commission and the Verdant Health Commission; and one on the Olympic View Commission. Voters also will decide on two statewide ballot measures, as well as four state advisory votes, an advisory vote in Brier and the community transit tax measure.
In addition, voters will elect three community members from their county council district to serve on the Snohomish County Charter Review Commission, which is convened once every 10 years.
