Today is Election Day: Don’t forget to vote!
Today is winnowing election day across Washington State. Although it’s possible that you’re one of our readers who lives in a jurisdiction where there is nothing on the ballot (and thus there is no ballot), chances are, you were sent a ballot with at least one contest on it. Please don’t forget to take your ballot either to a post office or drop box today if you haven’t already done so.
If you’re not sure where the nearest ballot drop box is, and you live in King County, check out this list from the Elections Division.
NPI strongly urges all readers who live in King County to vote to approve the Veterans and Human Services Levy (Proposition 1). This measure would:
Our veterans — especially those who lack food, water, and shelter — need all the support they can get. By approving Proposition 1, we can let them know that we value their service and their economic security.
After the deadline to turn in ballots passes at 8 PM tonight, King County and other counties will post initial results for the 2011 winnowing election. We’ll be bringing you live coverage and analysis of the returns beginning around then.
