Strong Early Voter Turnout In Washington Leading To Election Day
OLYMPIA, WA — With just two days left to cast ballots in the Nov. 3 election, Washington is maintaining a record-breaking pace for early voting, with 67.6 percent of ballots returned by early Saturday afternoon. By comparison, just 43.9 percent of ballots were received at the same point in the 2016 presidential election.
According to the Secretary of State's office, Washington's 39 counties have already received ballots from at least 3,292,135 of the state's 4,873,146 registered voters by Saturday. The state did not update its totals Sunday.
This year, elections officials are projecting record voter participation, including in King County, where the director of elections challenged voters to hit the 90 percent mark. County elections officials reported 72 percent turnout by Sunday, and more than 76 percent of Seattle ballots returned.
Leading the pack is Jefferson County, where turnout is sitting at 77.5 percent.
