Turnout looks low as general election approaches
As of Oct. 31, just 11.9% of registered voters had returned their ballots to the Pierce County Elections Division.
The percentage of returned ballots in Gig Harbor, where several high-profile races are being contested, is significantly higher, at 23.32%. Among Pierce County jurisdictions, only the town of Steilacoom is doing better at 26.53% of ballots returned.
Statewide, 15.63% of voters have returned ballots.
The other 85% of voters in Washington state have until Tuesday, Nov. 4, to participate in the election. Ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, or returned to a drop box by 8 p.m.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
