2021 Candidate Filing Due in Person

In-person campaign filing starts on May 17 from 8:30 am through Friday, May 21 at 4:30 pm.

The courts have upheld that mail misdirected by error is not a valid excuse for late filing. All candidates filing a Declaration of Candidacy form must pay the applicable
(non-refundable) filing fee at the time of filing. The filing fee for City of Tukwila Council Positions is $150.00, which is equal to 1% of the current annual salary.
If a candidate lacks sufficient assets or income to pay the filing fee, they can contact King County Elections to receive information about options.
