One Week Left to Vote

It’s Tuesday, November 1st, and aside from meaning we can’t ignore that the nights are getting colder, and it’s probably time to concede defeat, and close the windows at night, it means one other thing – you only have one more week to vote. So if you haven’t cast your ballot yet, or located your polling station, now’s a good time to do so.

For answers to your voting-related questions, you can visit the Pierce County Auditor webpage.

If you need to locate a polling place near you, or if you’ve misplaced your Voter’s Pamphlet and want to look at the online version, visit the current election page.

And if you’d like even more info, or prefer to hear the candidates themselves, you can watch the Video Voters Pamphlet from TV Tacoma.

Any questions?
