Thanks to a 2018 change in state law, Washington is implementing same-day voter registration starting with the Aug. 6 primary election.

That means someone can register to vote or update an existing registration as late as 8 p.m. Aug. 6 — as long as they do so at their county auditor or elections office. The Snohomish County Auditor’s Office in Everett will be open until 8 p.m. on Aug. 6.

To register the same day, voters must provide a valid driver’s license, state ID or Social Security number on the registration form. The voter must also be a U.S. citizen and legal resident of Washington, and at least 18 years by Election Day. The person must not be disqualified by a court order from voting, and not under supervision by the state Department of Corrections for a felony conviction that occurred in the state.

Under the new law, voters can also register by mail or online until eight days before an election, which is Monday, July 29.
