Issues with your signature

You may receive a call or mail from King County Elections regarding the signature on your ballot return envelope. Respond promptly in order to make sure your ballot can be counted, even if Election Day has passed.

Most commonly, we contact voters if they've forgotten to sign the oath on the back of the return envelope or if the signature on the return envelope does not match the signature we have on file. Trained employees compare the signature on every mailed ballot envelope with the signature on the voter's registration.

The mailing from King County includes instructions and deadlines for returning documents. Voters with questions can call 206-205-5686 for assistance.
