“Once the people have been deluded into believing that speeches and voting are the only acceptable tools by which to affect change in their nation, those who are in control no longer need to worry about any significant challenge to their power.”

Nov. 3 General Election ballots and voters’ pamphlets in the mail
Everett, WA – Vote and make your voice heard in the November 3 General Election! Snohomish County Elections mailed 422,000 ballots to voters this week. All registered voters should receive their ballots by Tuesday, October 20. A state voters’ pamphlet and a separate local voters’ pamphlet were also mailed to each household.
The General Election has a strong local focus. Races include county executive, assessor, auditor, clerk, sheriff and treasurer; county council seats for districts two and three; and several positions in city, school, fire, water, sewer, port and parks and recreation districts. Voters will also decide on two statewide ballot measures as well as several local ballot measures.
In addition, voters will elect three community members from their county council district to serve on the Snohomish County Charter Review Commission, which is convened once every 10 years. The charter outlines how the county operates and how county government is organized. The 15 commission members (three from each council district) serve a one year term.
Ballots returned through the mail must be postmarked no later than Tuesday, November 3. Voters may return their completed ballot postage free to any 24-hour ballot drop box location in Snohomish County, including the newly-installed box in Canyon Park QFC parking lot in Bothell. Ballots can be deposited at these locations any time until 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. However, voters are encouraged to return their ballot as soon as practical to avoid potentially long wait times at drop boxes on Election Day.
