Snohomish County Auditor Garth Fell and elections officials from King, Pierce, and Thurston counties co-wrote this op-ed for the @seattletimes about the many steps taken to ensure secure, transparent, and accurate elections for voters. Read it here: - King County Elections reposted
How does a lot draw determine ballot order of candidates? In the race with the most candidates, each is given a number based on the order in which they filed. These numbers are randomly selected to determine candidate order on the ballot and applied to other races we manage.

Results are updated at kingcounty.gov/en/legacy/dept…- After emergency responders cleared Elections Headquarters yesterday, our team got back to work. We expect our results update this afternoon to include around 100,000 ballots. And we’ll be back at work tomorrow to continue processing.
00:00 - Results have been updated at kingcounty.gov/en/legacy/dept…
- Replying to @kcelectionsWe'll post results today at 4 pm and then every weekday at 4 pm until certification on November 28.
- Replying to @kcelectionsThis situation kept Elections staff out of the building and away from processing ballots for approximately three hours. After the mailroom was cleared and cleaned by HAZMAT, ballot processing staff returned to work.
- Replying to @kcelectionsThe piece of concerning mail arrived in our mailroom, on the first floor, in our administrative suite. All ballots remained secured on the ballot processing floor and were monitored by both security cameras and livestreamed webcams viewable on the King County Elections website.
- Replying to @kcelectionsThe envelope was immediately isolated, the facility evacuated, and 911 was called. Law enforcement and HAZMAT teams arrived quickly to assess the situation.
- King County Elections expects to add approximately 20,000 ballots in today’s 4 p.m. results update. That 20,000 number is lower than usual because our building was evacuated this morning after we received a letter containing white powder.
