VOTE: Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, is Election Day. There’s still time to return your completed ballot. Here’s how…

• Ballot Drop Box: Return by 8 p.m. on Nov. 4; find locations at spokanecounty.org/187/Ballot-Drop-Box-Locations

• In person: The Spokane County Elections Office (1033 W. Gardner Ave.) is open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 4 if you need to return a completed ballot, get a replacement ballot or envelope, register to vote, use Accessible Voting Unit, and more; find details at spokanecounty.org/201/Voter-Service-Center-Locations

• Mail: State law allows mail-in ballots to be received and counted after Election Day, even if they arrive to election workers days later, but only if they are postmarked on or before Election Day. At this point, Spokane County Elections and WA Secretary of State have recommended returning completed ballots to a Ballot Drop Box to avoid potential delays in delivery of mail. If you do return your ballot at the Post Office, be sure to do so before closing on Nov. 4 and take it to the counter to be postmarked.
