If you've moved in the last year or two, have you updated your voters' registration?
Locals:
Eligible citizens with a Washington State driver’s license or Washington State ID card may register online via http://www.vote.wa.gov
Voter registration forms are available in English, Chinese, Spanish, Cambodian, Korean, Laotian, Russian and Vietnamese. Forms can be downloaded at http://www.vote.wa.gov.
Registered voters in the state of Washington are required to:
- be citizens of the United States;
- have lived in Washington State for at least 30 days;
- be at least 18 years old by Election Day; and
- have had their voting rights restored if they were ever convicted of a felony.
Federal and state law requires citizens to provide identification to register to vote, such as a Washington driver’s license or Social Security number. Other ID forms are valid under the law.
Reed pointed out that Washington’s registered voters do not have to reregister to vote in each election.
"The upcoming deadlines are strictly for those people who are not currently registered to vote in our state or who need to update their registration because they have moved or changed their name,” Reed said.

The really locals (King County) can check their registration status
here - including polling place, which districts you're in, and so forth. Nifty.
