Get ready to vote

The General Election Day is near, and our ballots and the Voters Pamphlet are here. Read it and learn about the issues and candidates. Go to votewa.gov to check out your own voter registration status, see your voting history, and learn more about voting.

Make sure you fill out your ballot correctly and, if you change your mind on a candidate or issue, draw a line through it and choose again. Look on both sides of the ballot. Then place it in the pink envelope, which is placed inside the white return envelope. Be sure to sign and date it.

With handy and free Ballot Boxes in town, my choice is to drop my ballot off there. The secure boxes will be emptied every few days. If it is easier, use your mailbox. It’s still free; no stamp is needed.

Be sure to vote as soon as you can. Don’t put it off!
