Snohomish County Elections receives national 'Independence Award' for outstanding service and accessibility

Last month, Snohomish County Elections was presented with the 2025 Professional Practices Independence Award by the National Association of Election Officials at its 40th Annual National Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This award recognizes Snohomish County Elections’ outstanding service and commitment to accessibility through its Elections Explained initiative, a comprehensive voter education effort.

The initiative combined community partnerships, targeted marketing and direct voter engagement opportunities to ensure voters had access to clear, reliable election information ahead of the 2024 November General Election.

The initiative’s success was rooted in strong community partnerships with the Snohomish County League of Women Voters, Sno-Isle Libraries and other local community groups. Together, these partnerships supported the planning, moderating and hosting of in-person Q&A events where voters could ask questions and access reliable election information.
