We're gearing up for a spooky weekend! But not turning in your ballot on time, now that's downright scary.

Ballots for the general election are due November 2nd, this coming Tuesday, so turn it in this weekend. Local elections like this year's have big impacts on the issues that matter to us the most, from transit access and affordable housing to local solutions to the climate crisis. These races are often won or lost by just a handful of votes so your vote makes a huge difference.

Here's how to make sure your vote has an impact: 

1. Make sure you received your ballot. If you didn't receive it, reach out to your local elections department right away.
2. Check out WCV's endorsements and vote for the WCV endorsed candidates in your area.
3. Don't see any WCV endorsed candidates in your community? Check out the Progressive Voters Guide for more options.
4. Make a plan to vote! Mail your ballot right away or find a dropbox near you. You can find your nearest dropbox by logging into your voter portal or looking at this full list of dropboxes around Washington state.
5. Already voted or not eligible to vote? Share this graphic on social media to remind your community to get their ballot in, as well!  

Elected officials in our community are making decisions every day that impact our lives. It's critical we use our voice to vote people into office who will stand up for our community interests and advocate for environmental and public health. Open up your ballot today and make a plan to vote!
