Undelivered Ballots Found in Dumpster at Seattle Park
Undelivered ballots were found in a dumpster at Seattle's Golden Gardens Park.
Seattle Tacoma, WA, October 22, 2026 —
Undelivered ballots were found in a dumpster at Seattle’s Golden Gardens Park, according to the information available. The brief report does not specify when the ballots were discovered or how many were involved.
It also does not identify who found them, who they were intended for, or which election they may have been associated with. No information was provided about the ballots’ condition, how they came to be in the dumpster, or whether officials were notified.
The available account does not name an election office, city agency, or other organization involved. It also does not describe any investigation, recovery effort, inspection, or official response. Without those details, the circumstances surrounding the discovery and the status of the ballots remain unclear.
Undelivered ballots found in a dumpster is the only reported detail about the incident. No date, location information beyond Golden Gardens Park in Seattle, or follow-up action was included in the summary. The account does not state whether the ballots were counted, whether they were eligible for counting, or whether their discovery affected an election. Those points cannot be established from the information provided.
The incident is therefore limited to a reported discovery at the park. Further details—including the number of ballots, the time of discovery, and any response from election officials—were not provided.
