Washington residents who aren’t registered to vote have until Saturday to sign up if they want to cast ballots at their neighborhood polling station.

Registering is as simple as filling out a form and mailing it in. Forms are available at many government offices, schools, libraries, political party or candidate headquarters, and fire stations. They can also be printed from the Washington Secretary of State’s Web site, at www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/ register.aspx, filled out and mailed in to the address provided.

After Saturday, it’s still possible to register to vote in Washington, but only for those who go to the county elections office to fill out the form. The final deadline for registration is Oct. 18.
