With primary elections happening in Washington on Tuesday, King County has opened up six in-person voting centers.

These new voting locations will help people who need to register to vote, get a replacement ballot or use an assistive device to vote.

The voting centers are located at Bellevue College, the Federal Way Performing Arts & Events Center, Kenmore City Hall, Kent Centennial Center, King County Elections Headquarters in Renton and Lumen Field.

They will be open Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Voter turnout for the August primary election is projected to be at 45%. As of Sunday evening, about 16% of voters had submitted their ballots.

Voters can return their ballot by mail, in a ballot drop box or at a voting center location.

All official drop boxes will close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Ballots returned by mail must feature a postmark from Election Day or earlier to be counted as on time.
