“We’re about 36% turnout, that’s about half a million ballots here at the King County Elections headquarters that are being processed," said Julie Wise, the director of King County Elections.

In 2018, King County Elections had 44% of ballots turned in at this point in the election.

As of Friday, 31.97% of ballots were returned in the State of Washington. At the same time in 2018, 38.39% were turned in according to the Secretary of State.
