簽名被質疑
Signature challenges occur when a voter does not sign the back of the ballot return envelope or when the signature on the return envelope does not match the signature(s) in their voter registration record. Any voter with a signature challenge can fix the issue and have their ballot counted by filling out and returning a form to King County Elections before the day the election results are certified. 當選民忘記在其選票回郵信封背面簽署,或者回郵信封上的簽名與其選民登記記錄中的簽名不吻合時,就會產生簽名被質疑的問題。在選舉結果獲認證之前,任何簽名被質疑的選民都可以通過填寫一份表格及將其寄回選舉部來解決問題,以便其選票能得以計算。

For every ballot that is returned during an election, King County Elections staff compare the signature on the back of the return envelope to the signature(s) in the voter registration record for that voter. This process is required by Washington State law in order to make sure that the voter the ballot was mailed to is the voter who filled out and returned the ballot. Any ballot return envelope with a signature that does not match is flagged and reviewed by a second staff member before being challenged and set aside until the voter returns a signature challenge form. 對於在選舉期間每個交回的選票,金郡選舉部工作人員都會將回郵信封上的簽名與該選民在選民登記記錄中的簽名進行比較。這個過程是華盛頓州法律所規定,以確保收到郵寄選票的選民就是填寫及交回的選民。任何簽名不吻合的選票,將由第二位工作人員加以標記及審查,而確定被質疑的選票會放在指定處,直到選民交回簽名被質疑表格為止。
Under Washington State law, whether or not a voter has turned in their ballot and whether or not they have a signature issue is considered public information. Candidates and other organizations can request this information to see which voters in King County have outstanding signature issues. Some of these organizations then use this information to try to help voters fix their signature issues so their ballots can be counted. 根據華盛頓州法律,選民是否已經交回其選票,或他們是否有簽名被質疑問題均屬於公開資料。候選人和其它團體可以要求提供這些資料,以瞭解金郡哪些選民有未解決的簽名問題。其中一些團體使用這些資料來幫助選民解決其簽名問題,從而使他們的選票可以得以被計算。
