King County Elections will mail ballots today for the Aug. 5 primary election. Voters’ pamphlets are mailed separately and may arrive on a different day than ballots. Voters may also check MyVoterGuide online for a customized voters’ pamphlet.

“Voting can begin as soon as citizens receive their ballots,” said Sherril Huff, Director of King County Elections. “King County Elections has forecast a turnout of 38 percent for this election.”
