Vote-by-mail authorized for special election
December 22, 2008 · Updated 4:09 PM
The Feb. 3 special election will become the first countywide election in King County to be conducted entirely by mail, following recent action by the Metropolitan King County Council to grant exceptions to conditions it set two years ago for implementation.
Councilmembers unanimously approved a motion directing the King County Elections Division to proceed with an all-mail ballot for the election.
On the February special election ballot are the first election for the office of King County Director of Elections, creation of a Fall City Metropolitan Park District and election of five commissioners, and
a school levy in Enumclaw.
