Today is General Election Day 2020. Haven’t voted yet? It’s time to get that ballot in!

Today is Gen­er­al Elec­tion Day in Wash­ing­ton State and across the Unit­ed States. Much is at stake. The pres­i­den­cy, four hun­dred and thir­ty five seats in the U.S. House, and a third of the seats in the Sen­ate are all on the line. And that’s just the fed­er­al lev­el posi­tions. Nine statewide exec­u­tive depart­ment posi­tions, three Supreme Court posi­tions, and three-fourths of the Leg­is­la­ture are also up.

In Ore­gon, there are three statewide con­tests (Sec­re­tary of State, Trea­sur­er, Attor­ney Gen­er­al) and a U.S. Sen­ate con­test in addi­tion to U.S. House contests.

Have you vot­ed yet? If you have, con­grat­u­la­tions on ful­fill­ing your civic duty. Haven’t vot­ed yet? It’s time to get that bal­lot in! You’ve only got a few hours left before time runs out to par­tic­i­pate. There’s no excuse for not voting.

You should have received your bal­lot in the mail a few weeks ago from the coun­ty you reside in. If you did not receive a bal­lot, or if you have mis­placed your bal­lot, go to a Vote Cen­ter to obtain a pro­vi­sion­al ballot.

It is pos­si­ble to reg­is­ter to vote and cast a bal­lot today thanks to our same-day reg­is­tra­tion law. If you are not reg­is­tered, head to a Vote Center.

Don’t for­get to sign your bal­lot before putting it in a drop box or the mail. Wash­ing­to­ni­ans, locate the near­est drop box to you by going here.

If you live in Ore­gon, don’t take your bal­lot to a post office, as it’s too late to mail it. Find a drop box instead, and take your bal­lot there.

Not sure who to vote for? If you belong to or pre­fer a par­tic­u­lar polit­i­cal par­ty, you may want to con­sult their list of endorsements.

There’s also the Pro­gres­sive Vot­ers Guide main­tained by Fuse Washington.
