A decade after Washington became the second state in the country to take voter registration online, 35 states and the District of Columbia (that other Washington, as some know it) have followed suit. Under current law, the deadline for online voter registration is 30 days before Election Day, so the deadline for registering to vote in the August Primary Election passed this week, on July 9th. Thanks to the excellent work by our Elections Division, thousands of Washingtonians registered to vote online in time to cast ballots in August . So many new voters signed up via the website in just the opening days of July that this is already Washington's biggest month for online voter registration since the November 2016 election. As of Friday, we have nearly 4.3 million registered voters in Washington eligible to vote in the August primary, for which ballots will go out by July 20. Here's a month-by-month breakdown of how Washington voters have signed up since 2016.
