Did you know that we verify every signature on every 
ballot returned? For this Primary Election, we’ve mailed 1,227,550 ballots and are expecting our first big day of returns to bring in approximately 20,000 ballots! So, in preparation for this large volume, on Thursday, July 14 approximately 35 additional temporary staff were trained by the Washington State Patrol to handle signature verification. This is a class Elections staff takes
every year.
