General Election ballots to be mailed this week

PORT ORCHARD – General Election 2024 ballots are scheduled to be mailed to all Kitsap County registered voters on Tuesday.

Voters will help elect candidates for federal, state and county offices, and a commissioner position in the Kitsap County Public Utility District. There is also one local measure and four statewide measures.

The county will have 27 drop boxes open for the election. The Local Voters' Pamphlet and State Voters' Pamphlet were mailed earlier and are available online at kitsap.gov/elections.

Paul Andrews, Kitsap County Auditor, is encouraging voters to get their ballots in as soon as possible. "It's the best way for all of us to have a clearer picture on election night which candidates get elected and which measures pass or fail," he said.

Ballots collected by Nov. 4 will most likely be included in the totals announced at 8:15 p.m. on Election Night, Nov. 5.

Kitsap County Elections recommends using ballot drop boxes to return ballots, but voters can also do so by mail without postage. Voters returning their ballots by mail should do so by Oct. 29, a week ahead of the election.

Online and mail registrations and address changes must be received by Oct. 28. After that day, residents needing to register to vote can do so in person at the Kitsap County Auditor's Office, 619 Division Street in Port Orchard from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every weekday. Residents can also register to vote at one of three vote centers from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2 and Monday, Nov. 4. The vote centers will be open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5.

Vote Center locations:

  • Kitsap County Administration Building, 619 Division Street, Port Orchard, WA 98366;
  • Marvin Williams Recreation Center, 725 Park Avenue, Bremerton, WA 98337;
  • Poulsbo Fire Station, 911 Liberty Road, Poulsbo, WA, 98370.


Ballots must be returned to one of the county's drop boxes by 8 p.m. on Nov. 5, or postmarked that day or earlier.
