As early as Thursday, the Supreme Court could release their decision around so-called grace periods for mail-in ballots. Washington, along with 13 other states, allows mail-in ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive later to be counted. An additional 15 states offer grace periods under certain circumstances. If the Supreme Court rules grace periods are unconstitutional, it could have a significant impact on voting in Washington — and ballots for the primary election are going out in less than a month. KUOW's Kim Malcolm spoke with Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs about preparations for the decision and other voting challenges the state faces.

To go over what happened and what may happen next, KUOW’s Kim Malcolm spoke to University of Washington law professor Danieli Evans.
