What do I do if I'm not at home during an election?
  • Seasonal resident: If you are a seasonal resident, update your seasonal mailing address with our office. Provide us with the first and last days you’ll receive mail at this address and we’ll send your ballot to that address each year between the dates you specify. 
  • Out of town and can’t receive mail: You can access an electronic ballot by logging into VoteWA. You’ll only need access to the internet and a printer to print your ballot and return it to our office.
  • Leaving town and can’t receive your ballot by mail: If you know you’ll be out of town and can’t receive mail or email 90 days before an election, contact us and we can issue a special advance ballot to you.
