It never showed up, or the dog got it, or it went out with the recycling. There are two ways to get another one the same day. The Elections Office will print you one, or you can print it yourself.

Walk in and they'll print you a replacement. They're open business hours from October 16, and until 8 p.m. on November 3.
509-524-2530Walla Walla County Elections, 315 W Main St, Room 203. It is the county's only voting center, and the only counter in Walla Walla County that hands you a replacement in person.
Sign in at VoteWA with your name and date of birth, and print a replacement at home at any hour if you can't get to the office. You need a computer, internet and a printer, and you have to print two separate things. That last part is where people come unstuck.
This option does not appear until October 16.
Either way, the county checks your signature and only one ballot counts for you. Downloading a replacement deactivates the ballot you were mailed. You can still send the old one back, but it takes longer to process.
Sign in at voter.votewa.gov with your name and date of birth, open Your Ballot & Voting Materials, then choose Get a Replacement Ballot. Five buttons, and none of it works before October 16.
The ballot is one print job. The return packet, meaning the instructions, the envelope and the declaration you sign, is a second one. Print the downloaded PDF as well, or you will have nothing to send it back in.
Mark it privately, sign the declaration, and assemble the packet exactly as its instructions say. Then get it to a drop box or the Elections Office by 8 p.m. on November 3. We recommend a drop box. Every drop box in the county.
Not everyone has a printer at home, or internet that behaves. That should not be the thing that costs somebody their vote. Two places are confirmed so far and we are working on more.
103 E Main Street, Suite 301, entrance on Colville. Free printing for the ballot and its return materials, whether or not you are a member.
Hours are not confirmed yet, so contact them before you come.
Inside the space, we're Switzerland. They will help you print your ballot. What's on it is nobody's business but yours.
