Mobile registration gives
second chance to hopeful voters
 With
the deadline to register to vote in the upcoming General Election just
days away, King County Elections and the League of Women Voters have partnered
to bring in-person registration to neighborhoods throughout the county.
King County Elections and the LWV have designated a 25-foot Recreational
Vehicle as an official Elections satellite station through Monday, October
18, the last day to register to vote in-person for the November 2 General
Election.
The League of Women Voters donated the RV, or Vote Mobile, a trademark
vehicle reminiscent of one they used 40 years ago to register voters here
in King County.
The Vote Mobile will kick-off its multi-city tour of King County tomorrow,
Tuesday, October 12 at 11:00 AM at the Victor Steinbrueck Park located
north of Pike’s Place Market on Western Avenue.
The Vote Mobile, staffed with King County Elections officials and LWV
volunteers, will register people to vote and present first-time voters
with a lesson on how to vote. As required by law, people who register
in-person during the two week period following the close of the mail-in
registration deadline must vote using mail ballots.
The Vote Mobile design coincides with today’s launch of King County
Elections’ Metro bus ad campaign designed to promote voter turnout
in the upcoming election.
The idea was conceived based an increased demand for additional registration
sites outside of Seattle.
Please check back Wednesday at 5 p.m. for an updated list of locations.
