Official account for King County Elections. We conduct accurate, secure, and accessible elections for King County, WA’s 1.4 million voters.

Thank you to @cip.uw.edu for helping kick off 2026 Election Season with a thoughtful conversation between Dr. Kate Starbird and Director Wise last night. We were glad to listen in as they talked about online rumors and shared the reality of how elections in King County actually work!

Kent voters! There’s a new official ballot drop box outside Kent Kangley Safeway. When the box was installed yesterday, I learned we can switch which side the door is on, so trained ballot pickup teams can access the box safely and securely.
