OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — While there were a record number of people participating in this month’s election in Washington state, the overall voter turnout percentage fell just shy of the record 84.6% set in 2008.

Of the state’s nearly 5 million voters who returned a ballot for the general election, the final rate Tuesday was slightly under 84.1% after county canvassing boards reviewed ballots that were challenged over issues like signatures or postmarks.

Today was the last day for the counties to finish their work and certify the results. Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman plans to certify the election on Dec. 1, a few days before the deadline.

Voter turnout in Clallam County was just under 86%.
