Ballots are due today

Today is the last day to turn in a ballot for the primary election. Some Eastern Washington voters have no races, and therefore no ballot; for most of the rest, it’s a short ballot that whittles down the list of candidates for one or more local offices for the general election.

Voters who have primary contests were mailed a ballot about three weeks ago. They have until 8 p.m. today to return it by one of two methods after the ballot is marked.
