Section 434-324-028. Illegible or missing postmarks.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Consistent with RCW 29A.08.020, if the postmark on a voter registration application submitted by mail is illegible or missing, the date of receipt by the elections office is considered the date of application. If an application is received by the elections official by the close of business on the fifth day after the cutoff date for voter registration, the application is considered to have arrived by the voter registration deadline.
    (2) Postage that contains a date, such as metered postage or a dated stamp, is not a postmark. If an application has dated postage and no postmark, it is an application missing a postmark.
