Here's How to Cast Your Primary Election Ballot in Edmonds

Mail-in ballots must be postmarked Tuesday or dropped off at a drop-off location by 8 p.m.

If you haven’t yet mailed in your primary ballot, you still have time. It’s a packed one, with races for statewide, congressional, legislative, judicial and local offices, as well as some spending measures, depending on where you live.

Washington votes all by mail, and ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, Aug. 7, in order to be counted. Be sure to use first-class postage.

You can also drop off your ballot without a stamp at one of 11 drop-off locations in Snohomish County. The one in Edmonds is at 650 Main St. near the library.
