With Election Day tomorrow, King County Director of Elections Julie Wise joined The Gee and Ursula Show to figure out why voter turnout is down, how secure our elections are, and when we're expected to receive the much-anticipated election results.
to figure out why voter turnout is down, how secure our elections are, and when we’re expected to receive the much-anticipated midterm election results.
There are ways to track your ballot after signing up for the new ballot alert system on the King County ElectionsIf you see that your ballot has been challenged for any reason, whether your signature doesn’t match what is on file or if it wasn’t signed at all, make sure to verify your identity when the elections officials come calling, Wise said.
“So what happens is we typically see about 50% of our voters that are going to turn out for a given election have their ballot into our office by today. So we’re going to post results for those ballots tomorrow night after 8 p.m. But we’re waiting and we literally don’t have the other 50% of the ballots, they’re still being returned into drop boxes late tomorrow and to the United States Postal Service.
“Folks that are skeptical of our election systems. It’s something that certainly all election administrators are well aware of going into this midterm election, we’re worried that we’ll see lower turnout because of it,” Wise said. “We have bipartisan observers here at the King County Elections facility at all times watching the process. We also believe in radical transparency, you can watch us hard at work through web cameras that are located throughout the ballot processing area.
