The League of Education Voters has partnered with The Washington Bus to host Trick or Vote. It’s the largest non-partisan get-out-the-vote canvass…in costume on Halloween.
Next Friday, October 31, hundreds of volunteers, parents and children, will meet on Capitol Hill to do a quick training and get ready to Trick or Vote in youth-heavy neighborhoods around Seattle. The first wave of Trick or Voters will meet at 3:30 PM, and the second group will meet at 5:30 PM.
Our goal is to knock on 8,000 homes in the Seattle area. We want everyone to VOTE and vote all the way down the ballot. Local races have a huge impact on all our lives and they are determined by only a few hundred votes.
Remember, the 2004 gubernatorial election was decided by just 133 votes and last year’s simple majority for school levies was another close one.

Here’s an easy way to vote on all the races and measures on your ballot.

Let’s set another record
Washingtonians set a new state record this year by exceeding 3,515,000 registered voters.
Secretary of State Sam Reed predicts 83 percent of registered voters could participate in this election. But that still doesn’t break the 85 percent turnout record that’s stood for more than 60 years.
You can help Washington break the record by signing up to Trick or Vote!
Thanks for voting in this election,
Bonnie Beukema
Deputy Director
