Special election ends April 26

April 20, 2016

While many in Washington are looking forward to the state’s first Presidential Primary in eight years, about a quarter of the state’s registered voters have a chance to vote in an earlier election -- the April Special Election.

Ballots have been sent to 981,687 voters (24 percent of the state’s registered voters) in 22 of Washington’s 39 counties. Voters need to return their ballots at drop boxes or have them postmarked by April 26 in order to count.

The special election includes 48 ballot measures in 45 voting districts. Most of them are your typical levy and bond measures, but Pierce County has an advisory vote that asks whether the Pierce County Council should allow production, processing and retail sales of marijuana in specified zones in unincorporated Pierce County.
