WCV's Weekly Election Update is your resource for pertinent voting information, actions to take, and upcoming events hosted by WCV-endorsed candidates. With local elections happening this year, the future of our environment and communities are at stake. Electing pro-environment local governments is a crucial factor in creating an equitable, just, and healthy environment for all, especially on issues we all care about like housing justice, clean water, and public transportation.

Ballots were mailed out last week and if you are a Washington State voter you should have received yours in the mail. If you didn't receive your ballot, log in here to make sure your address is up to date or to request a replacement ballot.

Still having trouble receiving your ballot or have more questions? Call or reach out to your county elections department right away.

Remember you can still register to vote or update your voter information online until October 25th or in person until election day on November 2!

Join the Evergreen Future Text banking team! Volunteers will send texts to thousands of voters to get out the vote for pro-environment candidates in local elections across the state. To be a part of this team, you just commit to sending texts for three hour-and-a-half shifts between now and Election Day — that's it! Training is provided by our field team.​
