Monday, March 19, is the deadline for citizens in the Renton School District to register to vote online or by mail or to update their voter registration for the April 17 special election.
The Renton School Board opted to put a $97 million bond measure to build a new middle school, among other projects, on the April ballot after it failed by a narrow margin in the Feb. 14 special election.
Five other government districts have special elections, too, including the Issaquah School District. The same registration deadline applies in those districts, too.
“If your district is participating in the special election, your registration must be up-to-date in order to vote,” said King County Elections Director Sherril Huff. “It takes only a few minutes to check that your registration is current and it’s an important part of ensuring that you get your ballot in the mail.”
Citizens can register in-person at the elections office at 919 S.W. Grady Way in Renton.
