New Washington voters can register through 4:30pm Monday

By Evan Smith

New Washington voters can register through 4:30pm Monday to vote in the May 24 presidential primary, but they must register in person at either the King County Elections Office in Renton or the County Elections Voter Registration Annex in downtown Seattle.

In-person registration is at the King County Elections office, 919 SW Grady Way, Renton. The home elections office is open from 8:30am to 4:30pm. The voter registration annex is in the King County Administration Building, 500 4th Ave., Room 440, Seattle. It is open from 8:30am to 1pm and 2pm to 4:30pm.

Voters who register in person can either get a ballot by mail or vote on accessible machines at the elections office if they choose to wait for their registration to be validated through the state voter registration database, a wait that requires a few minutes.

The deadline to register on line or by mail or for currently registered Washington voters to update their addresses was April 25.
