Don’t wait until Election Day (or even just before) to mail your ballot!
Officials warn that USPS postmark delays — worsened by recent cutbacks and reduced processing capacity — could lead ballots mailed late to lose their valid postmark, and thus be rejected.
The state’s Secretary of State goes further: avoid mailing your ballot within 7 to 10 days of Election Day — instead, use an official ballot drop box or hand-deliver it to a post office so it can get a same-day postmark.
Because Washington law allows ballots arriving after Election Day only if they are postmarked by Election Day, the timing of that postmark is critical.
In short: don’t mail your ballot late — drop it off early or use a drop box to ensure it’s counted.

Party Platform
As Democrats we respect the rights guaranteed by our Constitution that support:
- Economic Opportunity
- Social and Civil Justice
- Personal Freedom
- Security
- Privacy
We are dedicated to achieving peace, prosperity, and opportunity.
Our platform rests on the principles that there should be:
- Security for all
- Education, jobs and economic opportunity for all
- Accessible and affordable healthcare for all
- Rebuilding of our reputation in the world as a cooperative and just country
- Reversal of the erosion of civil liberties in our country
- Recognition that diversity strengthens our nation
- Economic and social policies that protect the environment
Skagit County Democrats adopt this platform to ensure that voters and candidates for public office understand and support our goals. Elected officials should adhere to this platform.
"I stand for simple justice, equal opportunity and human rights. The indispensable elements in a democratic society - and well worth fighting for."
