Ballots were mailed to over 450,000 Snohomish County registered voters for the Nov. 7 General Election Wednesday.

Washington state mailed its separate voter pamphlet with information on state advisory measures last week.

“Your vote in this year’s General Election helps choose the leaders who will determine the taxes we pay and services we receive from our cities, schools and other local districts,” Snohomish County Elections and recording manager Garth Fell said in a news release.

If you don’t want to mail your ballot, you can return it at a drop box instead. Ballot drop boxes are open 24-hours a day until 8 p.m. on Election Day, and no postage is needed. Locations include:

•Arlington, 135 N Washington Ave.

•Marysville City Hall, 1049 State Ave. If you are registered to vote and have not received a ballot by Oct. 25 call 425-388-3444. For more go to www.snoco.org/elections.
