RETURN YOUR BALLOT: Election Day — Tuesday, Nov. 4 — is next week. Spokane County Elections and the WA Secretary of State have recommended returning completed ballots to a Ballot Drop Box to avoid potential delays in delivery of mail.

Ballot Drop Boxes are located outside all Spokane Public Library and Spokane County Library District branches, with other locations throughout the County. Visit spokanecounty.gov/187/Ballot-Drop-Box-Locations to find a ballot box near you.

Ballots can also be returned at the Spokane County Elections Office at 1033 W. Gardner Ave., which is open Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. with extended hours on Election Day, 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Visit
spokanecounty.gov/Elections for more election information.

State law allows mail-in ballots to be received and counted after Election Day, even if they arrive to election workers days later, but only if they are postmarked on or before Election Day.

There are three ways to return ballots for the Nov. 4 General Election. Check out details in the post below!

RETURNING YOUR BALLOT: The General Election is coming up on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025. The 18-day voting period has begun in Washington, and ballots have been mailed to registered voters.

There are several ways for Spokane County residents to return their ballots:

🗳 Ballot Drop Box: There’s a ballot box outside every Spokane Public Library branch and Spokane County Library District branch, as well as several other locations across Spokane County. Find a ballot box near you at spokanecounty.org/187/Ballot-Drop-Box-Locations. You can drop it off anytime until 8 p.m. on Nov. 4.

🫱✉ In Person: The Spokane County Elections Office (1033 W. Gardner Ave.) is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m., with extended hours — 7 a.m.–8 p.m. — on Election Day (Nov. 4). Stop by if you need to return a completed ballot, get a replacement ballot or envelope, register to vote, use an Accessible Voting Unit, or have questions about voting. Find details at spokanecounty.org/201/Voter-Service-Center-Locations.

📫 Mail: Drop your ballot in a mailbox — no stamp required. To be counted, ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 4. ***Please note: The Spokane CountyAuditor strongly recommends mailing your ballot by Tuesday, Oct. 28 to avoid any risk of rejection due to a late postmark. If you drop off at the Post Office on Election Day, the Auditor urges voters to do so before closing and to take your ballot to the counter to ensure it is postmarked.***
