**Updated Nov. 4, 2026:** The Nov. 3 election and the Arlington temporary voter-service dates below have passed. For help now, check your ballot at [VoteWA.gov](https://votewa.gov/?ref=justabouts.com) or contact Snohomish County Elections at [425-388-3444](tel:4253883444). The [first county results are available here](https://justabouts.com/snohomish-county-election-night-results-propositions-3-5-2026/).

North county voters could register, replace a ballot or get help completing one at a temporary Arlington voter-services site during the final days of the Nov. 3 general election.

The temporary site was at Medallion Inn and Suites, 16710 Smokey Point Blvd. The [county’s November election schedule](https://snohomishcountywa.gov/5727/Accessible-Voting-and-In-Person-Voter-Se?ref=justabouts.com) listed these dates and hours:

- **Saturday, Oct. 31:** 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- **Monday, Nov. 2:** 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- **Tuesday, Nov. 3:** 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Staff provided voter registration, registration updates, replacement ballots and ballot assistance. Accessible Voting Units were also available.

The deadline to register in person and receive a ballot for this election was 8 p.m. Nov. 3\. The temporary schedule above is retained for reference.

## Tracking your ballot after Election Day

The county’s [official ballot drop boxes](https://snohomishcountywa.gov/5726/Find-a-Ballot-Drop-Box?ref=justabouts.com) closed for this election at 8 p.m. Nov. 3.

The deadline for a mailed ballot was a postmark dated Nov. 3 or earlier. Before Election Day, county officials recommended asking a postal clerk for a hand-stamped postmark.

The county said a misspelling of “general” on its return envelopes would not affect ballot processing or validity.

Check [VoteWA](https://voter.votewa.gov/?ref=justabouts.com) to track a ballot you returned. Snohomish County advises allowing three to five business days for the status to update. Its [tracking guide](https://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/5723/Track-Your-Ballot?ref=justabouts.com) explains the messages. If the status has not updated after five days or you need help, call Snohomish County Elections at [425-388-3444](tel:4253883444).

The county explains the envelope error, signature checks and return options in its [Oct. 15 voter update](https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WASNOHOMISHCO/bulletins/42f53ab?ref=justabouts.com). For an explanation of the county measures, see [our ballot guide](https://justabouts.com/snohomish-county-propositions-3-5-2026/).

## Missing or mismatched signature?

If the county contacts you about a signature issue, follow its [signature-resolution instructions](https://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/6800/Ballot-Signature-Challenges?ref=justabouts.com) promptly. The county says the form must be **received by 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23**, the day before its [Nov. 24 certification](https://snohomishcountywa.gov/6795/114301/2026-Elections-Dates-Deadlines-and-Sched?ref=justabouts.com). Mailing it by that date is not enough.
