King County Official Local Voters' Pamphlet August 7, 2012 Primary and Special Election King County Official Local Voters’ Pamphlet For more information call 206-296-VOTE (8683) or visit www.kingcounty.gov/elections 2 A letter from the Director Dear King County Voter: The August primary and November general election represent the grand fi nale of our four year election cycle in this Presidential election year. In keeping with the drama and intensity of Presidential year elections, this election cycle, national headlines have focused on stories about what some consider to be safeguards and others deem barriers to voter registration and voting. Registered voter purges, requirements to provide government issued photo identifi cation, redistricting with the appearance of isolating minority communities, and screening requirements for voter registration are examples of programs creating controversy. Naturally, advocacy groups have lined up on both sides of these actions. Department of Justice law suits and Supreme Court rulings have reined in some states to address any semblance of voter discrimination. A prominent issue related to these actions is citizenship, and the fear that non-citizens are taking part in our political process. Citizen concerns about voting rights and voter fraud have increased. Recently, King County’s Election Department has received inquiries about the efforts we take to research the validity of citizenship for voter registration in our county, offering the opportunity to clarify myths about voter fraud. I’ve seen immigrant citizens avoid their legal right to vote due to fears brought with them from their former place of citizenship. Reports and proof of non-citizens illegally invading the ballot box are extremely rare. Voter registration in Washington requires signing the required oath attesting that you meet the legal qualifi cations. You are attesting to the fact that you are a citizen of the U.S. and at least 18. You are also declaring you are not under the authority of Department of Corrections and have not been disqualifi ed from voting due to a court order. Registering to vote and voting without meeting these qualifi cations constitutes a violation of the law and is subject to prosecution. A registered voter or the prosecuting attorney has the right to challenge a voter’s registration status. Having served as an elections offi cial in this state for over 16 years, I have witnessed very few voter challenges, and very rarely seen any challenges confi rmed as voter fraud. Successful challenges for fraud across the country also remain remarkably rare. Still, those states seeking to impose voting restrictions cite voter fraud as the reason. In Washington, every citizen age 18 or older meeting the legal requirements to vote are encouraged to register and vote. King County Elections does not conduct background checks on voters or question qualifi cations unless a challenge has been fi led. Be aware of registration and voting deadlines and do not miss your opportunity to vote in our historic Presidential year elections. Best Regards, Voter registration deadlines • July 9 – Deadline to register by mail or online, or to transfer or update voter registration. Sherril Huff • July 30 – Deadline to register in-person for people who are not currently registered in Washington.
