Video Voters’ Guide - August 4, 2026 Primary Election
Welcome to the Seattle Video Voters Guide, your chance to hear directly from the candidates on the August 4 Primary ballot. All candidates were invited to record a statement. Each statement is up to two minutes long and unedited. This Video Voters' Guide includes statements from candidates running for King County Assessor, King County Council Positions 2 and 8; plus, Seattle City Council District 5, Seattle Municipal Court Judge, Position 5, as well as statements from supporters and opponents of Seattle Proposition 1.
Watch the complete election guides above, or peruse individual races listed below.
This is an all-mail election. Instead of going to a polling place, ballots will be sent to all registered voters. You may return your ballot by mail or return it to one of the ballot drop box locations around King County by August 4.
King County residents can locate their congressional, legislative, county council, and city council voting districts using the "Find My Districts" tool on the King County Elections website.
The Video Voters' Guide is a collaboration of the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission, Seattle Channel, and King County TV. For more information about this election, visit King County Elections.
