King County Elections mails ballots for Aug. 5 primary

With the Aug. 5 primary just around the corner, King County Elections mailed ballots to voters on July 16 to officially get the process rolling.

Mercer Islanders will focus on the 41st Legislative District state representative Position No. 1 race, which features current state representative Janice Zahn (D) facing off with Vinita Kak (D) and John Whitney (R).

The top two vote-getters in the primary will advance to the Nov. 4 general election.

According to a previous Reporter story, Bellevue’s Zahn was appointed to her seat in the LD 41, which covers Mercer Island and several surrounding cities, on Jan. 21 when King County Council unanimously voted to bring her on board. The then Bellevue City Councilmember replaced Mercer Island’s Tana Senn (D), who was appointed in December 2024 by Gov. Bob Ferguson to lead the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families.
