April 15 last registration deadline for April election
The April 23 special election is fast approaching and mostly features school levy and bond measures. If you’re in one of the 21 counties having an election later this month but you aren’t registered to vote anywhere in Washington, you have until April 15 to register in person if you want to vote in it. Just go to your county elections department to register.
The special election affects 35 voting districts. Nearly 371,000 voters (about 9.5 percent of Washington’s active registered voters) are eligible to take part. To learn if your county is holding a special election, click on this map and then click on your county.
To be eligible to vote in the April election, you must be 18 years old by April 23, a U.S. citizen and a legal resident of the state of Washington. You may not register to vote if you have been convicted of a felony and not had your voting rights restored, or if you have been declared by a court to be mentally incompetent and ineligible to vote.
