Are you registered to vote? Check your status
Know any people who need to register to vote?
An important date is coming up: October 4th…the deadline to be registered to vote in the upcoming election.
Know anyone who needs to get registered???
Did you know that even if you are registered, your voter registration may be marked as Inactive? Take these three actions to make sure as many people as possible are part of this historic election:
Click here to register to vote or change your address. You may need to reregister if you’ve moved or changed your name. Encourage your unregistered friends to visit this site.
Click here to make sure your voting status is set to Active.
When you do get your ballot, send it in as soon as you can. In the primary, a surprising number of ballots were unintentionally postmarked after the deadline. We learned a lot from the Primary on August 19th. We learned that hundreds of thousands of voters were placed on Inactive status. Some were made Inactive because they moved and didn’t update their address. A handful of people were made Inactive out of error.
This will only affect a small fraction of voters in Washington State. But the more steps we can take right now to prevent this, the better.
Whichever side you’re on, remember: in 2004, the difference between Chris Gregoire and Dino Rossi was only 133 votes. Every vote and every voter counts!
