Ballots in from 56 percent of expected Wash voters

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- More than half of the state's expected voters already have returned their ballots to elections officials, a day before Election Day.

A county-by-county assessment by The Associated Press found that as of Monday, more than 1.7 million ballots had been returned.

Secretary of State Sam Reed predicts 83 percent turnout statewide - about 3 million people - so about 56 percent of the expected voters have sent back their ballots.

Ballots were sent out Oct. 17, and must be postmarked by Tuesday.

Thirty-seven of the state's 39 counties are voting entirely by mail. King and Pierce Counties still have poll sites, though a majority of voters in those counties already vote by mail.
