Snohomish County Auditor Garth Fell is addressing the public's concerns about election integrity and transparency.
Washington ballots. Snohomish County Auditor Garth Fell is addressing the public's concerns about election integrity and transparency.
Voters in Washington have become accustomed to mail-in voting, but many have questions. Sometimes, they’re complex questions. Other times, they’re as simple as wondering what exactly happens to their ballot once it’s mailed in. “One piece that we can’t control is on-time ballots due to postmarking and so that’ll continue to be a sizable number of ballots that come back that we get the next morning, even if we were to be working through the night,” Fell said.
“There are situations each election where we’ll get a ballot back that’s signed by somebody else, not the voter, and we investigate those situations and forward them on to our prosecuting attorney’s office when it appears that someone may have knowingly signed on behalf of somebody else,” Fell conceded. “And they do an investigation and determine what action to take at this point.”
