Your Pierce County mail-in ballot arrived a few weeks ago. The final deadline is August 4, 2026. Because the voting window is so long, ballots are easily lost under a stack of mail or forgotten on the kitchen counter.
This election is critical. Your vote will decide the future of our local landscape.
If you are unsure how to fill out your ballot, our team has done the heavy lifting for you. We personally interviewed the new candidates this season. We evaluated their campaign funding to ensure they can compete. We thoroughly vetted their platforms. Then we selected leaders who possess a progressive interest in good government, affordable housing, homelessness solutions, and livable communities supported by robust county, state, and national parks.
Look over our Recommendations
We are fortunate to have a slate of highly qualified candidates on the ballot this year. To see our full list of organizational endorsements, visit our website before you fill out your bubbles.
You can also cross-reference our picks with the official arguments printed in your regional Voters’ Pamphlet. Read about who they are. Select the people who share your vision for a sustainable Pierce County.
One critical race to watch closely is Pierce County Council District 7. This seat is a vital battleground for environmental policy, and every single vote in our neighborhoods will decide the outcome.
With two Republicans running, and a nonpartisan candidate, Brenda Lykins as the sole Democrat needs you vote. This is the election for progressive and conservation-minded voters to turn their ballots in right now.
Don’t Wait for August
Do not let your ballot sit until the final deadline. If you mail it too late, it might not get a valid postmark, and your vote will not count.
Secure your voice right now. Fill out your ballot, sign the return envelope, and drop it in the mail today while you know exactly where it is. If you prefer not to use a stamp, take it directly to an official Pierce County ballot drop box before August 4.
Cast your ballot, protect your community, and make your voice heard.
