When Will Our Ballots Be Mailed Out?

Went to several websites including wa.gov and have not seen what day it should be in my mail. With early ballots in different states being in the news, I am eager to vote as early as possible. TIA to anyone who knows when to start looking. Has anyone received one yet?

When are ballots mailed out to voters?
Washington State law requires ballots be mailed to voters at least 18 days prior to an election.

If I'm counting the days correctly, they should be mailed out around the 20th. God, that seems like an eternity!

5. Thanks. Yes, it seems like an eternity to me, too. And with all the UGH going on...

Just a little paranoid. I feel that our elections are run very well here... Just got to make sure that GOP doesn't get the SoS office in November. I don't want to see us going the way of these other states. We have more baggers running for office...

From the Mercer Island Reporter :

Ballots for Washington voters are to be mailed by Oct. 19. The statewide voters’ pamphlet will be sent to all Washington voters as well. Voters are also encouraged to view the online general election voters’ guides.

Online Voter Pamphlet is available now at: http://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/voters.aspx
