You know those Washington primary ballots that have been sitting in pile of mail for the last three weeks? They need to be turned in by 8 p.m. Tuesday or they won't be counted.
Once they've been marked and placed in the signed envelope, you have two choices: Mail them or take them to a drop box.
To mail them, they'll need a first-class stamp, and they must be postmarked by Tuesday. It's a good idea to take them to a post office, rather than leaving them in a mailbox for later pickup.
To put them in a drop box, they don't need a stamp. Each county decides where to put drop boxes, and contact numbers and websites for all Washington county elections offices can be found here.
If you've lost or destroyed your ballot, you can get a replacement at a voter service center.
