On Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2019, King County Elections certified the final results for the Nov. 5, 2019 General Election, and also began preparations for recounts for three races in Bothell, Mercer Island, and Redmond.

Voters cast their ballots by Nov. 5 to weigh-in on numerous state ballot measures, including twelve non-binding advisory votes, municipal offices, and local ballot measures.
