A reminder that if you have not yet registered to vote for the Aug. 6 primary election — or need to update an existing registration — you can do so until 8 p.m. Aug. 6, thanks to a 2018 change in state law.

Races on the primary ballot for Lynnwood voters include Lynnwood City Council, Edmonds School Board and Snohomish County Council.

Washington State during this election is implementing same-day voter registration, as long as you do so at your county auditor or elections office. The Snohomish County Auditor’s Office in Everett will be open until 8 p.m. on primary election day 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.

If you are already registered but are still weighing your choices for the primary, your ballot either must be returned via U.S. mail (no postage required) with an Aug. 6 postmark or you can use a local ballot dropbox up until 8 p.m. Aug. 6.

Accessible Voting Units (AVUs) are available for voters who cannot cast a private, independent ballot by mail. AVUs are touch screen voting devices that feature large font, audio and tactile options to assist voters in casting their choices.

Voted AVU ballots are printed and inserted into an envelope just like any other ballot. The voter will sign the oath on the envelope and the signature will be compared to the voter’s record. Voters unable to sign their name will make their mark in front of two witnesses.

Accessible voting locations are:
