Student Government

The Office of Government Relations partners with the Associated Students of UW Bothell (ASUWB) to support student engagement in the legislative process in Olympia. We offer guidance to students on the legislative process and help them prepare for meetings with state legislators.  

We collaborate with ASUWB’s Director of Legislative Affairs, who leads advocacy efforts on behalf of the student body. The responsibilities of the Director of Legislative Affairs include promoting ASUWB’s approved legislative agenda during the legislative session, organizing student participation in the annual Huskies on the Hill lobby day, and coordinating civic engagement initiatives. 

Voter Resources

Ballot Drop Box 

King County Elections has installed a secure ballot drop box on campus outside the Activities & Recreation Center. This drop box accepts ballots until 8 p.m. on election days. 

Student Engagement Hub – Replacement Ballot Printing on Election Day 

On general election days, UW Bothell operates a nonpartisan Student Engagement Hub on campus. Registered voters can use the computer workstations in the hub to access an online portal and print official replacement ballots. Once completed, ballots can be sealed in replacement envelopes provided by King County Elections and deposited in the secure drop box outside the Activities & Recreation Center. Please note that state law prohibits electioneering — or active voter persuasion of any kind — within 100 feet of the Student Engagement Hub to maintain a fair and neutral voting environment.
