DuPont voters are served by the Pierce County Auditor's Office, Elections Division, located at 2501 South 35th Street, Suite C, Tacoma, WA 98409 (phone: 253-798-VOTE or 253-798-8683, website: www.piercecountywa.gov/elections). Washington is an entirely vote-by-mail state, meaning all registered voters automatically receive a ballot in the mail approximately 18 days before each election, eliminating traditional polling places. DuPont residents register to vote online through the Washington Secretary of State at www.vote.wa.gov, by mail using a printable registration form, or in person at the Elections Division office or Washington State Department of Licensing offices. The registration deadline is 8 days before Election Day for online and in-person registration, or must be postmarked 29 days before Election Day if registering by mail. Washington offers same-day registration during the in-person voting period. Voters must provide their Washington driver's license number or state ID number when registering; if they lack these, the last four digits of their Social Security number are used. DuPont municipal elections for mayor and city council positions occur in odd-numbered years, with the most recent city elections held in November 2023. The DuPont City Council consists of seven members elected at-large, with staggered four-year terms. The next DuPont municipal elections will be held November 4, 2025, when voters will decide city council seats. There is no traditional polling place for DuPont voters; instead, voters return completed ballots by mail (must be postmarked by Election Day) or deposit them in official ballot drop boxes located throughout Pierce County, including a drop box at DuPont City Hall at 1700 Civic Drive, accessible 24 hours during the voting period. Voters can track their ballot status online at https://voter.votewa.gov. Washington's public disclosure laws make certain election records publicly accessible: voter registration lists (with some personal information redacted) are available for purchase for political purposes, campaign finance reports for candidates and political committees are searchable at the Public Disclosure Commission website (www.pdc.wa.gov), candidate filing information is available through the Elections Division, and detailed precinct-level election results are published after certification. In the November 2024 general election, Pierce County reported approximately 67% voter turnout, with over 375,000 ballots cast out of approximately 560,000 registered voters countywide. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, DuPont and Pierce County voters will decide several significant races: one U.S. House of Representatives seat (Washington's 10th Congressional District, which includes DuPont), Washington State legislative races for the 28th Legislative District (one State Senator and two State Representatives), Pierce County Executive, Pierce County Council seats, Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer, Pierce County Auditor, and Pierce County Prosecutor. Washington does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026, and the Governor's race is not scheduled until 2028. Voters will also decide on statewide ballot measures and potential local levies or bonds for schools, infrastructure, or other public services. Washington allows any registered voter to request absentee/mail ballot status (though all registered voters automatically receive ballots); military and overseas voters can request ballots electronically through the Federal Voting Assistance Program. Voters who need replacement ballots or accessible voting options can visit the Elections Division office during business hours or the Voting Center that opens several days before Election Day for in-person ballot marking and return.
