They're run by the counties so maybe some do it differently. In Thurston the Elections office runs a voting center, they get thousands of in person votes coming through. And they have done mobile voting centers that travel to places like retirement communities and libraries though they have been cut to bare bones funding so not as much as they would like.
In California there is one in every small neighborhood. Churches, assisted living facilities and so many others host. I pass 3 on my short drive to the freeway. They should be everywhere
But why have so many when you can just use the mail? I searched but didn't find a specific answer on how many voting centers there are in CA vs WA, so I'm not sure exactly how they stack up. I do think we should have more in WA just for customer service, but we'd have to pass a tax to fund it and that's tough.
