Information to Vote Safely in the 2020 General Election

Republicans Are Committed to Honest Elections!

  • Ballots must be turned in not later than 8:00 PM on November 3rd, 2020.
  • Ballots can be dropped off into a King County Elections Ballot Drop box. Here are the Eastside locations and they are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until 8PM sharp on November 3rd:
    • Kirkland City Hall
    • Redmond City Hall
    • Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village
    • Sammamish City Hall
    • Kingsgate Library
    • Woodinville Library (on Avondale Rd.)
    • Duvall Police Department Depot Park
    • Bothell City Hall
    • Kenmore City Hall

If you are going to drop your ballot off at a ballot drop box on November 3rd, please allow extra time. Expect long lines as 8:00 PM approaches and the cut off is 8:00 sharp. If you find a long line, park and walk your ballot directly to the drop box so it arrives by 8PM. There are often people who are in line but did not get their ballot dropped in the box by 8:00.  Their ballot will be collected but it will not be counted.  Don’t be one of those who missed being counted by ‘just a minute’. Take care of it earlier in the day.

  • You can also mail your ballot via the US Postal Service with no postage required. Again, it must be mailed in time to be postmarked before 8:00 PM on November 3rd. Do not mail after 4pm Tuesday – go to an Official Drop Box instead, as they are open until 8pm.
  • Your ballot envelope must be signed and dated

Things to keep in mind if you need help:

  • You can designate someone to help you, but it is up to you who you select.
  • It is a crime for someone to deceive you or record your vote inaccurately
  • You can get assistance from King County Elections if you have a disability that makes using the ballot difficult. You may have to go to their Renton office for this help. Your residential facility may be able to provide transportation. King County Elections is located at 919 SW Grady Way, Renton, WA and can be reached via phone at (206) 296-8683.
  • Don’t let anyone influence how you vote your ballot. It is YOUR ballot.
  • Protect the possession of your ballot until it is properly submitted in the ballot drop box or postal service receptacle.
  • Do not let anyone inhibit your access to your ballot. Nobody can vote for you. It is the law.

Our goal is to have very high participation and an election with no fraud.  We are all well served when the outcome of any election is an accurate reflection of the will of the people.  Please be vigilant in protecting your ballot; don’t be a victim of any kind of ‘ballot harvesting’ scheme.

Contact Senators to Support Judge Amy Coney Barrett

Please take a minute to email our two U.S. Senators to vote to CONFIRM Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court!

If the procedural steps are followed, the final vote is expected Monday evening, so you have Sunday or early Monday to send your email. Your message can be just a simple “please vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court”. This is an historic nomination and Amy Coney Barrett has more than earned this confirmation. Let’s help boost her support!

Register now for February 29th Presidential Precinct Caucuses.

Register at:   www.WSRP.org/caucus/

Registering confirms both your caucus location and your voter registration status.

Print and bring your confirmation sheet plus your photo ID (Driver License) to your caucus to speed your admittance.  (It will be slow for us to verify that info online at the caucus)  Each voting precinct will have their own group meeting at an assigned Pooled caucus location.  We have 7 designated locations around the 45th district so you won’t have to travel far to participate.

Arrive about 9:30am. Caucus starts at 10am and should be over in about two hours.

This is your best opportunity every four years to share your opinions with our local and county Republican Party.  We want to hear from YOU!

At your caucus we want to hear your thoughts on President Trump’s accomplishments and what items he should focus on going forward, your Straw Vote preference for our next Governor, and your thoughts on several new laws being advanced in the state legislature.

You will also elect the individuals who will represent your precinct as delegates and alternates to the 45th district Republican Caucus on Saturday, March 14th and the King County Republican Convention on Saturday April 18th.  Consider serving as one of your precinct’s  delegates or alternates!  Your participation is important for us to have the local input we need to win in 2020.

Reminder, our Precinct caucuses AND our Presidential Primary TOGETHER make up the two halves of our state’s representation to the Republican National Convention.

Your Official Presidential Primary ballot should arrive in your mailbox by Saturday, February 22nd.

Please choose the REPUBLICAN ballot, take a few minutes to fill it out and mail back or deliver to one of the Official Ballot Drop boxes by the March 10th deadline.

If you have questions, email them to: info@45GOP.org
