Voter registration is available up to 8 days before election day for online and mail registration, or in-person registration is available through election day at the Walla Walla County elections office. Washington offers same-day registration during the voting period. Registration requires providing a Washington State driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. The Town of Prescott holds municipal elections for its five-member Town Council and Mayor positions. Council members serve four-year staggered terms, with elections typically held in odd-numbered years during the November general election. Local voters also participate in Walla Walla County elections for County Commissioners, Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff, Auditor, Treasurer, Assessor, and other county offices. Washington does not use traditional polling places; instead, voters may return completed ballots by mail (postage is prepaid), deposit them in official ballot drop boxes located throughout Walla Walla County (including locations in Walla Walla and other communities), or deliver them in person to the Elections Office. A ballot drop box location finder is available at www.vote.wa.gov. The county historically trends conservative, though the city of Walla Walla itself is more politically mixed. Washington will hold elections for all U.S. House of Representatives seats (the area is in the 5th Congressional District), all state legislature seats (it's in the 16th Legislative District for both State Senate and House positions), and multiple statewide offices. Specifically, 2026 elections will include races for U.S. Senate (Maria Cantwell's seat is up), Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and other state executive positions. Walla Walla County will have elections for one County Commissioner position (District 2 or 3, depending on the rotation), Prosecuting Attorney, and possibly Assessor or Auditor depending on term schedules. All Washington voters receive mail ballots automatically; to request a replacement ballot or ballot for a new voter, contact the Walla Walla County Elections Office at the address and phone above. Voters who need accessible voting options can request alternative formats or use accessible voting equipment available at the Elections Office. Election records that are public in Washington include the voter registration database (names and addresses of registered voters, but not birth dates or driver's license numbers), campaign finance reports filed through the Public Disclosure Commission at www.pdc.wa.gov, candidate filing information, election results by precinct (available at www.vote.wa.gov and through the Walla Walla County elections office), and ballot measure documentation. Precinct-level results for local voting precincts are published after each election, showing how the community voted on local, county, state, and federal races.
