King County has an all mail-in ballot, though voters with disabilities may vote in person at  from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Accessible voting units offer lap paddles and sip-and-puff devices, as well as audio, and large and high-contrast text options. All voters may use the accessible voting centers, though identification and signature will be required to vote in person.

The county has an online demo (flash) of the voting machines.
