Ballots need to be postmarked today, which means, at this point, they won’t necessarily be counted if you put them in a mailbox. Make sure you check the mailbox pick up time before you post your ballot. Postage is free this year so no need for a stamp in Washington.
However, you can put your ballot in a drop box until 8 p.m. today. They’re outside the Rec Center, Sehome Haggen and the downtown courthouse. You can find a map of Whatcom County drop boxes here.
If you lost your ballot, you can print one out from the Secretary of State’s website.
And until 5:30 you can stop by the Ethnic Student Center to print out a new ballot and enjoy coffee and donuts at Democracy and Donuts. If you want more information about candidates you can read about the AS local candidate forum, state candidate forum or read the voters pamphlet online.
Happy voting!
