During the last midterm election in 2014, over a quarter of the eligible voters in Washington were not registered.  

Last year, voter turnout in Oregon’s primary was the lowest in recorded history.

With a month before the next election, you don’t have much time left to register if you want to vote November 6 in Washington, Oregon or Idaho.
