Voting in Washington’s 2018 General Election is now underway as ballots were mailed last week to all registered Clallam County voters.
New Washington state voters have until Monday, Oct. 29 to register in person at the Auditor’s Office in the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. 4th St. in Port Angeles, to participate in this election.
Those needing a replacement ballot may securely access a printable ballot via the MyVote website at www.myvote.wa.gov., or obtain one by contacting Clallam County Elections directly at 360-417-2221 or elections@co.clallam.wa.us.
Ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 6, or returned to a ballot drop box by 8 p.m. that day.
Ballot drop off options include 24-hour drive-up ballot boxes at the Clallam County Courthouse in Port Angeles, the Sequim Village Shopping Center near JCPenney’s in Sequim, and the PUD in Sekiu just off Highway 101. Additionally, walk-up drop boxes are located outside Forks City Hall, outside Washburn’s General Store in Neah Bay, and in front of the Clallam Bay Branch Library. An additional ballot drop box will be installed soon next to Sunny Farms Country Store in Carlsborg (adjacent to Mill Road).
