Here’s How to Cast Your Primary Election Ballot in Bonney Lake and Sumner

If you haven’t yet mailed in your primary ballot, you still have time.

It’s a packed one, with races for statewide, congressional, legislative, judicial and local offices, as well as some spending measures, depending on where you live.

Washington votes all by mail, and ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, Aug. 7, in order to be counted. Be sure to use first-class postage.

You can also drop off your ballot without a stamp at one of numerous drop-off locations in Pierce County, or visit an accessible voting center if you need help with your ballot. Be sure to do it by 8 p.m. Tuesday, and click on the links above for information about hours.

In Bonney Lake, the drop-off location is the Sky Island Park and Ride on Sky Island Dr E & 184th Ave E. In Sumner, the ballot drop-off point is the Sumner Library.

As of Friday, 57,033 voters, or 13.6 percent of Pierce County’s 419,236 registered voters, had returned their ballots. (The Secretary of State’s Office expects about 46 percent turnout statewide for this primary.)
