Once the General Election voting period ends Nov. 3 at 8 p.m., many candidates, voters, the media and political junkies will again use our free election results mobile app to get the latest results on state ballot measures, two special legislative races and many local contests.  Since the app debuted a few years ago, it’s been super popular.

If you have a smartphone, just download the app here for your iPhone, Android or Windows Phone devices.

In addition to providing results for state measures in the fall election, the app also provides local election results for 37 of Washington’s 39 counties. (Sorry, but it isn’t able to provide all local results for King County and only a few measures in Yakima County, but you can click on the county name on the returns page and hop to the full county elections page.)

Results are immediately updated when a new tabulation is reported by any of the state’s county elections departments. Results will be available after 8 p.m. on Election Day.  Many counties will report by 8:30 p.m. and most will be posted by 9 p.m.  Counties will not post a second round of returns Tuesday night.

If you don’t have a smartphone but want to track election results, you can go here after 8 p.m. on Election Day. To view local county election results, go here and then click on the county name.
