Vote smart: The ultimate guide to Election 2017

The ballots are in the mail. The candidates are still campaigning. And all of us voters in the Nov. 7 general election have to make up our minds soon on candidates for mayor, city council, a key legislative battle, school board races. And much, much more.

Crosscut is publishing its voter guide in three parts. There’s one section (see the tabs above) to round up the two Seattle mayoral candidates, Jenny Durkan and Cary Moon. Another part will help you see key differences between the mayoral candidates, as you fill out a questionnaire and see which candidate you’re most similar to. A final section covers the city council candidates, port commission races, school board contests and state legislative races.

Although the ballots should be arriving in mailboxes this week, voters have until 8 p.m. Nov. 7 to return their ballots or have them postmarked. And, as in the past, Crosscut will occasionally update its guide with more information as the voting deadline nears.
