Lynnwood – On Saturday, October 17, South Snohomish County Indivisible, community members, and volunteers in South Snohomish County will join more than 2000 communities across the country for No Kings: Vote Early, a nationwide day of action focused on nonpartisan voter participation and election protection.Â
The local event – taking place at Cedar Valley Community School, 19200 56th St. SW, starting at 11:30 a.m. – will serve as a gathering site where neighbors can double-check their voter registration, check ballot status, locate ballot drop boxes, and connect with voter protection networks ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Ballots in Snohomish County went out October 9. Voters can get information about candidates and initiatives to make informed choices on their ballot.

No Kings events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters. A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
