This year’s primary is just a few weeks away and will feature four city council races between Bothell and Kenmore, among other ballot issues.

July 8 is the deadline for online, mail-in registrations and voter registration updates.

For citizens who have not already registered to vote in Washington, July 29 is the last day to register in-person at their county elections office.

To be eligible to register to vote, you must be:

• 18 years old by Election Day (August 6).

• A United States citizen.

• A legal resident of the state of Washington.

• Not under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections for a Washington felony conviction.

• Not disqualified from voting due to a court order.

Counties will be mailing primary ballots to most voters by July 19. Counties sent out primary ballots to military and overseas voters more than a week ago. This includes ballots issued electronically.
