We have been voting by mail in Washington for decades and it is proven to be an accurate, secure and accessible voting system. Here's a few takeaways and facts about King County's voting system from today's conversation with @KCE_Director Julie Wise on @KUOW

King County ballots go out 10/14 and will be in-hand 10/20

Vote early. Vote early. Vote early. Due it the Friday before the election day or sooner.

In the August primary, 99.96 percent of ballots delivered within 5 days of mailing and that's the expectation we have going into the November election and our USPS is up for it.

Intelligent barcodes that track ballots make sure that if there is a mail delivery lag or delay, we will know when and where.

King County has 73 ballot drop boxes, which means 96 percent of voters have a drop box within a 3 mile radius.

King County ballot boxes are 1,000 pound secure steel tanks made locally by a company called Boat Armor, designed specially to make sure there is no way anyone can access that ballot box.
