Final Day Of Voting In Bellevue: What To Know On Election Day
Here's what voters need to know before they turn in their ballots on the last day of the 2020 General Election.

BELLEVUE, WA — The final hours of the 2020 General Election are upon us, and all ballots are due by 8 p.m. sharp. Amid record turnout, projected to hit 90 percent, early voting has kept up a record pace heading into Election Day, nearing 76 percent in the state's most populous county by Monday evening.
King County Elections officials told Patch they expect election night results will include a record 1 million ballots, compared with 615,000 ballots tabulated on election night in 2016. The earliest results will not include votes cast Monday or Tuesday, which will be reflected in later tallies. The county expects to have most ballots counted by Friday. The deadline for the election's certification is Tuesday, Nov. 24.
