Using a ballot drop box?
The drop boxes listed here are official ballot drop boxes maintained by the Yakima County Auditor's Office. Other locations that may offer ballot collection are unofficial and are not associated with the Yakima County Auditor's Office. If you cannot personally return your ballot, only let people you trust deliver it for you.
- check the status of your ballot at votewa.gov
