Citizens who want to participate in the Nov. 4 general election should prepare now. King County Elections will mail general election ballots to all registered voters on Oct. 15, so it’s important that citizens register to vote and keep their name, address and signature updated.

If you are already registered to vote in Washington but have a new name or address, update your voter registration by Oct. 6. This is easiest to do online at http://kingcounty.gov/elections/sos/myvote. Voter registration forms are also available to download and send in by mail, and must be postmarked by Oct. 6.

Voters who miss the Oct. 6 deadline to update their registration should still contact the Elections office to update their information for future elections.
