If you are a registered voter in Island County, your ballot is on its way and should arrive within the next day or two. Approximately 46,000 General Election ballots were mailed out by Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider on Wednesday, Oct. 17.

If you have not received your ballot by Oct. 25, contact Island County Elections at 360-679-7366 or email the elections office at Elections@co.island.wa.us to request a replacement ballot.

Accessible ballot drop boxes are available 24-hours from now until 8 p.m. on election day, Tuesday Nov. 6.
