There will be four AVU’s available for blind and low vision voters and others who cannot fill out a print ballot at home. They will be located in a cordoned off area on the first floor of the library behind the auditorium. King County Elections staff will be there to assist voters. Voter registration will also be available. In Washington you can register in person on the same day that you vote in person. Volunteers will also be on hand to direct people to the voting area.
