Do I need an ID to register online to vote?
Yes. All Washington residents who are eligible to vote may register online using the Voter Portal if they have a valid Washington State Driver’s License or state-issued ID. If you do not have either of these forms of ID you can submit a paper voter registration by mail or fill one out in person at our Vote Center.
I’ve moved. How do I change my address?
You can update your Washington residence address online using the Voter Portal or by submitting a paper voter registration application by mail or in-person at our Vote Center.
When is the deadline to register to vote?
Washington enacted Same-Day Voter Registration in 2019. This means that all eligible voters have up until 8:00 PM on an election day to register to vote, or update registration information, and receive a ballot. This must be done in-person at a county Vote Center. The deadline for voter registrations or updates by mail or online is eight days prior to an election. These deadlines are listed on our Voter Resources page.
How do I change my political party preference?
Washington State is unique in that voter registration does not include an option for registering by party.
