Last Day To Vote For Director of Elections

Today is the deadline to mail in your ballot for the King County special election this month. Unless you live in Fall City or Enumclaw, all you'll be voting on is the new county director of elections. Seattlest will be sending ours today, since we didn't bother to look up the candidates until this morning. We're voting for Sherril Huff, the incumbent, who is endorsed by such illustrious organizations as the 43rd District Democrats and the Stranger (she is "competent, sane, and qualified" compared to our other options, says the Stranger Election Control Board). Huff was also one of two candidates recommended as "outstanding" by the Municipal League. It may be ridiculous that we have yet another expensive election to vote on just one position--doesn't it take millions of dollars to send out ballots?--but vote anyway. Just do it.

or if you just don't trust the USPS, use the drop boxes too. (having worked in the elections phone bank i know how many ballots we sent out never even got to the voters, so i can only imagine how many get lost on their way BACK to elections...)

And if you don't want to pay for postage, you can return your ballot at ten drop boxes throughout the county:
