Watching an interview with WA Secretary of State Steve Hobbs. He mentioned that our return envelopes won’t have the recently required bar codes put in place by a Trump executive order. He warned that you should not trust using the US Postal Service to deliver your ballot. Instead Secretary Hobbs requested that voters take them to an official ballot drop box to ensure your vote is counted.
Additionally, there are reports that we had a record number of ballots not counted in this past primary election due to being “late” because of changes in US Postal Service postmarking protocols. Even if you drop your ballot in the mail or at the post office in time, it might not get postmarked until after the ballot close time. https://www.kuow.org/elections/2026-09-02/record-number-of-wa-mail-in-ballots-uncounted-after-primary-election-report-finds
When you get your ballot, fill it out and get it to an official ballot box asap. Don’t wait until the last minute on voting day. Make sure your vote is counted so we don’t get caught up in the numerous lawsuits and investigations to try and overturn the election results.
