Video Voters’ Guide: 2009 General Election – King County and Port of Seattle

This online King County Video Voters' Guide is designed to make information about the November 3rd general election more accessible, and assist you in making an informed choice. 

Vote in the General Election Nov 3rd.This will be the first general election in King County for which ballots will be submitted entirely by mail. Instead of going to a polling place, ballots will be sent to all registered voters.

In this edition you will hear about balllot measures and from the candidates who will appear in the general election for the countywide offices of King County Executive, the Metropolitan King County Council, and the Port of Seattle Commission. Voters last year made most county-wide offices non-partisan.

Each candidate has two minutes to speak. They appear on the screen in the same order in which they will appear on your ballot. 

Video links to the online King County online video voters' guide are viewed using Windows Media Player or Microsoft's Silverlight. Silverlight is required for Mac and Firefox users.  King County provides text transcripts of the videos provided. The Video Voters Guide is also available in Chinese.
