New election ballot drop boxes approved by the King County Council will make it easier for voters in North King County to cast their ballots in future elections.

Story

The Metropolitan King County Council today approved a plan from the Department of Elections to place ballot drop-off boxes in neighborhoods throughout Council District 1 to increase access to voting.

Those new locations are:

• Lake City Library
• Lake Forest Park City Hall
• Shoreline Library
• Bothell Regional Library

With the transition to vote by mail, the Council requested a plan from the Department of Elections to increase the return of ballots by voters. These locations are part of the 43 drop box sites selected as part of the requested plan.

All of these locations will be in place for the November general election.
