Washington officials say more than half of all registered voters in the state still need to mail in or drop off their ballots by the 8 PM Election Day voting deadline Tuesday.

The Washington Secretary of State’s office reports that 47.6 percent of the nearly 4.3 million voters have been returned as of 8 AM Tuesday morning.

Columbia County in southeastern Washington state leads in early-bird voters, with 66.3 percent of ballots already received, while Seattle’s King County barely beat the statewide average with its tally at 48.8 percent. (AP)
