Saturday, Oct. 4, is the last day for online or mail-in voter registrations or transfers in the Nov. 4 general election.

Secretary of State Sam Reed is urging eligible residents to register or update their registration status by this deadline if they've moved and are still registered at their former address.

Reed said it's easy, quick and assures citizens they will have a voice in this pivotal November General Election, including the hotly contested races for president and governor.

"The November election will be extremely important for Washington voters," Reed said. "Several key races will be on the ballot, including president, all nine congressional seats, governor and other statewide offices, judicial races, most legislative seats and many local government offices. Some of these races will be close. I encourage people who haven't registered yet to register. And if you've moved and haven't updated your registration, do that soon so you can vote in the upcoming election."
