St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Edmonds will hold a voter registration event from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5. Anyone wishing to register to vote is invited to visit the church for assistance.
Requirements include being a U.S. citizen, a legal resident of Washington state and at least 18 years of age by Election Day. Additional requirements include that you must not be disqualified from voting due to a court order, not be currently serving a sentence of total confinement in prison under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections for a felony conviction in Washington State, another state or in federal court, and not be currently incarcerated for a federal or out-of-state felony conviction.
To register to vote in Washington state, you will also be required to attest in a signed statement that you are a U.S. citizen and eligible to vote. You must also provide a form of identification. Common identification includes a Washington State driver’s license or state-issued ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number.
Additional information about registering to vote is available here.
St. Alban’s is located at 21405 82 Pl. W., Edmonds, east and south of the Five Corners roundabout. Watch out for signs on 212th Street and 84th Street with directions to the church.
If one must just attest to citizenship and not be required to prove such before voting who is actually following thru and verifying such presumptions? I wish the honor system was good enough but it doesn’t seem to be. How many new people regersting are audited? How often do we follow up on registered voters on things like place of residence, eligibility requirements? How can I see just how my vote was recorded, like a bank account? Hopefully many places have tried to improve integrity in their systems but I have a suspicion they really don’t like sunlight.
It is the responsibility of the Secretary of State’s Office to verify all information provided. What document would you suggest people show before registering to vote? A US passport is only issued to US citizens, but it costs more than $100. Would you support free passports for all citizens, or do you only support people with a certain income level being able to vote?

Wondering how late someone can register and still be able to vote in the Presidential race this November.
The deadline to register to vote online or by mail is 8 days before the election.
The deadline to register in-person is on Election Day by 8pm.

It’s become a right wing urban legend that people are just streaming into the country to claim they are American citizens so they can somehow take over the country or make sure only Democratic Party members win elections. Of course the urban legend goes even further to claim the Democratic Party is promoting this illegal voting scheme to “rig” elections. This isn’t to say we don’t have an illegal immigration problem because we do, but it is to say they aren’t coming here to vote. They are coming here to escape corrupt government and make some money to send back home. You can deport illegal immigrants in droves and you won’t affect any outcome of any election, period, but it sure stokes fear in the insecure masses that “wanna be” tyrants need to succeed. And the sad part is that it seems to be working.
Clinton I certainly don’t suggest they are coming here to vote but in many places around the country they are allowed to vote supposedly in only local and state races diluting citizens influence. Make no mistake many immigrants come here for the freebies many also come to work in crime many are trafficked here to be used for many different things. I don’t suggest this is a majority of immigrants but enough that it is putting a burden on the taxpayers to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars and reducing resources available for our own citizens. Releasing millions of unvetted immigrants into the country is not a good plan.
Why wouldn’t they stream in to vote and take over when they know there are so many pets to eat?
