You've moved your furniture, your clothes, the kids and the dog... But what about your vote?

Time is running out for people who recently moved to update their address or register to vote in time to participate in the historical Nov. 4 General Election. The deadline to register to vote online, by mail or change your address is Saturday, Oct. 4.

"For most voters, the last thing they think about is updating their voter registration when they move," said King County Elections director Sherril Huff. "Voters need to do their part in keeping our records updated and make sure their address is current so we know where to mail their ballot by Oct.4."

King County will mail military, oversea and out of state ballots on Oct. 3 and all other absentee ballots from Oct. 15 through 17. Voters can confirm their registration information is up-to-date by using King County's "Your Voter Guide" at www.kingcounty.gov/elections or by calling 206-296-VOTE (8683).

King County Elections will have convenient voter registration hours on Saturday, Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

New voters in Washington State have until Monday, Oct. 20 to register but must visit election headquarters at 919 SW Grady Way in Renton.

King County is reaching out to voters on the move whose addresses frequently change including college students, new homeowners, personal mailbox users, and homeless residents by establishing partnerships with organizations that work directly with these voters. These partnerships will play a vital role in the grassroots efforts to encourage voters to update their information when they move.
