Vote in person
King County conducts its elections by mail, so registered voters should have received a ballot to fill out at home. However, if you need assistance voting, the accessible voting center at Bellevue City Hall is open through Election Day.
These locations are open to all voters, but are primarily for voters with disabilities who have trouble filling out the ballots mailed to their homes.
Voters casting a ballot at an accessible voting center must either show a photo ID or sign a declaration. The signature on the declaration must match the signature in the voter registration record, according to the county.
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, Election Day, the center will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bellevue City Hall is at 450 110th Avenue NE, Bellevue, WA.
