Voters who have had their ballot rejected due to their signature on their envelope not matching the signatures contained in their voter registration record
or because the signature is missing from their ballot return envelope may resolve those issues up until 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28.
Signature update forms are sent to all voters with rejected ballots with a letter explaining how they may resolve their signature issue so their ballot can be
counted. The letter explains that voters have until 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28 to return the completed form, so their ballot may be counted.
Elections' staff understands candidate campaigns are contacting voters regarding rejected ballots. The Elections Office strongly encourages voters to
only return their signature update forms directly to the Elections Office, by USPS, or via someone they know and trust. The forms must be received by 5
p.m. Monday, Nov. 28.
Elections Office staff are not visiting voters at their residences or texting them. If a voter has provided the Elections Office their phone number on their
ballot return envelope and have not returned their signature update form, they will be called within three business days before the Nov. 29 certification
date to remind them to return their signature update or missing signature form. Phone numbers provided to the Elections Office are exempt from public
disclosure and are not provided as part of any public records request.
Voters may check their ballot status online at VoteWA.gov. After entering first and last name and date of birth they may select BALLOT STATUS to learn if
their ballot has been accepted or rejected.
Voters may contact the Elections Office at 564.397.2345 or elections@clark.wa.gov with questions regarding the status of their ballot or how to resolve
signature issues.
