The deadline falls eight days before Election Day - online registration closes at 11:59 PM on that date, while paper forms must be postmarked by then. Registering requires a valid Washington driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. New residents need to provide proof of residence. Municipal elections in the city cover mayoral and city council positions. The community operates under a council-manager government structure with seven council members plus a separately elected mayor. City elections occur during odd-numbered years in November. Information about local candidates, ballot measures, and election results comes through the City Clerk at (509) 244-4845 and the Spokane County elections website. Although ballots arrive by mail, voters can use drop boxes located throughout Spokane County, including sites in or near the city. The elections office website maintains a drop box locator tool.
