Election observer guidelines
- By law, observers may not touch ballots, ballot containers, or vote tallying equipment. Please remember this while observing election activities.
- As an observer, you are expected to remain objective and independent from King County Elections. Please refrain from any actions which may jeopardize this status or appear as a conflict of interest.
- Due to time constraints and the critical nature of our job, we cannot allow workers to be disrupted. Please help us maintain a work environment free of distractions so that everyone can concentrate on their current task. This does not include speaking to members of the Election Supervisory team or the Staff/Observer Liaison--part of their job is to answer your questions.
- King County Elections' officials will make every effort to be hospitable to observers and assist you in understanding the operations you are observing.
- Open food and beverage containers are prohibited in the observation areas.
- Video taping and use of cellular phones or other wireless communication is prohibited.
