Election Day is April 22. In Washington state, all elections are conducted via mail-in ballots. To ensure your voice is heard and your vote is counted, it's crucial to return your ballot as early as possible. Here's why:  

Timely Processing: Early submission allows election officials ample time to process and verify ballots, reducing the risk of delays or potential issues.
