A reminder that the deadline to vote in the primary election — which includes a variety of races ranging from U.S. Congress to governor to the state Legislature — is Tuesday, Aug. 4.

All ballots must be postmarked or left in a ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on that day.  Ballots and voters pamphlets arrived in mailboxes of registered voters in mid-July.

In addition to the state and federal races, Mountlake Terrace and Brier residents will vote to narrow the field of candidates running to fill the Snohomish County Council Position 4 seat left vacant when Councilmember Terry Ryan resigned earlier this year.

You can see our summary of the state legislative candidates, taken from the voter’s pamphlet, here and our coverage of the County Council Position 4 primary election forum here.

While the deadline to register or update voter information online or by mail has passed for the primary election, voters can register or update information in person at the Snohomish County Elections Office (3000 Rockefeller Ave., Admin West Building, 1st floor, Everett) until 8 p.m. on Election Day, Aug. 4.
