WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Election Day is just a week away and there’s a new opportunity to make sure your vote counts.

The Whatcom County Auditor’s Office is offering additional in-person service hours at its voting center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2.

County Auditor Stacy Henthorn says it’s a great chance for people to register to vote or update their address. It’s also a way for any voters to get a ballot if they never received one or grab a replacement ballot.

Ballots are due at one of the county’s 23 official drop boxes by 8 pm on Election Day next Tuesday or must be postmarked by Nov. 5.

You can find drop box locations, along with all the other voting information you need, on the elections tab of our website.
