Elections and Running for Office
Elections are an important part of civic life. During each election cycle, registered voters have the opportunity to help shape their communities by voting on local, state, and national issues, including decisions that directly impact our schools.
How to Register to Vote
To participate in Washington State elections, you must be a registered voter. Registration can be done online, by mail, or in person. Information is available on the Snohomish County Elections website. Voter registration is available up to and including election day in Washington State (options vary by method and timing).
Full information about voting registration can be found on the Snohomish County website.
Future Voter Program
Washington allows eligible youth ages 16 and 17 to pre-register to vote through the Future Voter Program. Once they turn 18, they will be automatically registered and ready to vote.
