In the first all-mail election in county history, Sherril Huff has taken a commanding lead to keep her job as the director for the King County Elections Division.

After Tuesday night’s tally, Huff had 44 percent of the vote. Her closest competitors were former King County Council member David Irons with 20 percent of the vote and state Sen. Pam Roach with 17 percent of the vote.

In November voters approved an amendment to the King County Charter calling for the election of the county’s top elections official. Previously, the county executive appointed the division leader.

Also running were Chris Clifford, Bill Anderson and Julie Kempf.

The county mailed out more than 1.1 million ballots in January.

New for this election, voters can track the progress of their ballot online, ensuring that their ballot has been received by the elections office and their signature verified.
