This means a lot to us! Thank you!

Counted means tabulated…basically. If your tracking says counted *before* 8pm on election night that means it is ready to be tabulated after 8pm on election night (when the law allows that first tabulation).

We have around 120k left to count after today's results - around 45k of which are from Seattle.

"Received" ballots are at the beginning of the process. They've gone through the sort machine and had their Ballot ID numbers logged into the system. After they've been received, they need their signatures verified, then to be opened, then to be scanned before they can be tabulated.

Here you go!

Staff are also available by phone at 206-296-8683 to help with questions.

That's not something we call out automatically, so it requires a special data pull. The team will likely be able to make that pull available next week.

Here you go bsky.app/profile/elec...

Give us a call at 206-296-8683. The team can look up your or your friend's specific information to see if there's an issue, and if so, what it is!

That does sound unexpected! Give us a call and we can look you up and see what's up. 206-296-8683

We've heard your calls for an official drop box, Belltown, and we're working on it. In the meantime, come through next Sunday!

we're excited!

Happy National Voter Education week!

Spawning salmon end their journeys in their natal streams. Ballots in King County end their journeys back at Election Headquarters where the Elections team verifies each signature and opens every ballot by hand!

There are 85 drop boxes across King County. Each one weighs 1000 pounds, is secured in concrete with giant screws, and has multiple layers of security to protect your ballot on its journey back home to Elections Headquarters.

A fully grown salmon, now an adult, begins its journey back to its place of origin - very much like your voted ballot once it’s in a drop box.
