Here's how you can vote in Spokane County

Election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, is almost upon us. And, as of yesterday, only around 18 percent of eligible voters in Spokane County had turned in their ballots, according to data from the county elections office. That means that out of roughly 330,000 registered voters, only 61,638 have returned their ballots so far. (In the August primary, the final tally for voter turnout was almost 35 percent, so we already know that most of you don't vote.) To encourage the rest of you to participate in your local democracy, we've compiled a few ways that you can easily return your ballot.
