Track your ballot at voter.votewa@gov

OLYMPIA — After unknown persons set off incendiary devices in several ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, last week, Washington voters are reminded to use the ballot tracker at https://voter.votewa.gov.

The state website allows voters to register, check their registration data, and track their ballots.

Ballots for the general election were mailed on Friday, October 18. Anyone who has not received their ballot can go to https://voter.votewa.gov to verify if and where a ballot was mailed.

Walla Walla County voters should call their county elections office at (509) 524-2530; Columbia County voters can call their elections office at (509) 382-4541 to find the best way to replace lost or damaged ballots in time to vote before the Election Day deadline.

The state website outlines three options to replace missing ballots.

1. Get a replacement ballot by mail on the website. There may not be time to receive the replacement to meet the election return deadlines.

2. Print a replacement ballot at home and mail it back.

3. If getting a replacement ballot by mail or printing will not work, call your county elections office to pick up a replacement ballot.

Printing or requesting a replacement will automatically cancel the previous ballot.

Ballots can be mailed, postmarked, and dropped off at drop boxes 24 hours a day until 8 p.m. on November 5.
