Island County elections officials have received numerous calls and e-mails from registered voters concerned about their voter registration because they received a card, call or email indicating they may not be registered.

Voters can verify their voter registration online on the Elections page at islandcounty.net, or by visiting myvote.wa.gov. Be sure to enter the name used on your original voter registration. If you had a name change, and have updated your voter registration, check your records using the new name.

Ballots will be mailed around Oct. 18. If you do not receive your ballot by Oct. 25, contact Island County Elections by phone or e-mail. Candidate information will be available in the Whidbey Island Voter Guide to be inserted in the Oct. 18 issue of The Whidbey Examiner.

Those wanting to vote in the November election must mail their voter registration by Saturday, Oct. 6. (Normally, Oct. 8 would be the last day for mail-in registrations to be postmarked, but Oct. 8 falls on Columbus Day this year, a federal holiday when no postal service is available.)

Oct. 8 is the last day for online voter registration or updates. Visit myvote.wa.gov.

New Washington voters can register in person until Oct. 29 at the county elections office, 400 N. Main St., Coupeville. For information, call the Elections office at 360-679-7366 or e-mail elections@co.island.wa.us.
