The ballots are in the mail for the Nov. 3 general election filled with local elections, including one contested race for the Renton City Council.

Mayor Denis Law is running unopposed for a third four-year term.

Ryan McIrvin and Monique Taylor-Swan are running for council Position 4, left open when incumbent Greg Taylor decided not to seek a third term.

Carol Ann Witschi is running for council Position 3, but while incumbent Marice Palmer’s name is still on the ballot, she announced this summer that she changed her mind and did not intend to run for re-election.

Council incumbents Ed Prince, Ruth Perez and Don Persson are running unopposed.

There is one countywide measure on the ballot, Proposition 1, which would increase property taxes to provide funding to improve well-being of children, youth, families and communities.

King County Elections mailed ballots on Wednesday. Voters’ pamphlets were mailed separately and may arrive close to, but on a different day than ballots.

Voters may also check MyVoterGuide online www.kingcounty.gov/elections for a customized voters’ pamphlet.

“Voting is one of the most important actions we do as citizens, so be sure to make it count by getting your ballot returned on time,” said Sherril Huff, director of King County Elections, in a news release.

Huff decided not seek another term as elections director.

Return envelopes with ballots must be postmarked no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day or hand-delivered to the King County Elections headquarters on Grady Way in Renton, permanent drop-box locations, scheduled ballot drop-off vans and Accessible Voting Centers.

The elections website offers locations for all those drop-off options.
