Voters' Pamphlet VOTERS’ PAMPHLET Washington State Elections Presidential Primary March 10 20202020 Official Publication Ballots mailed to voters by February 21 (800) 448-4881 | sos.wa.gov 2 A message from Assistant Secretary of State Mark Neary On March 10, voters in our state will have the opportunity to participate in Washington’s Presidential Primary. It’s your chance to have your voice heard on the nomination process for the office of U.S. President. The Presidential Primary was created in 1989 as a citizens’ Initiative to the Legislature. In the past, the two major political parties used caucus results to allocate some or all of their delegates to the national conventions, rather than the results of the primary. Additionally, the Presidential Primary occurred in May, well after the field of candidates had been condensed. After years of working with the Legislature to move our primary to an earlier date, lawmakers approved a bill in 2019 to advance the primary to March. Now, Washingtonians will have a greater voice in selecting the nominees for President. For the first time in state history, both major political parties will use the results of the Presidential Primary to allocate their delegates to the national conventions. Candidates from both parties will appear on your primary ballot. It is important to note that you are required to declare a party for the primary contest you’re voting in. The declarations, written by the parties, appear on the return envelope. Without your signature and party selection, your vote cannot be counted. The Presidential Primary is the only statewide election in which you are required to select a political party. I am excited to offer you this special 2020 Presidential Primary Voters’ Pamphlet, and hope you find it helpful in casting your ballot. In the Office of the Secretary of State, we strive to provide a trusted source of information for voters to use in making informed decisions in Washington elections. This pamphlet is one of many resources we provide, which includes information from the candidates about their background and views, as well as contact information for their campaigns. All registered Washington voters are encouraged to participate in this important election. Your ballot return envelope comes with prepaid postage, so you can drop it into either a ballot drop box or any U.S. mailbox. If mailed, your ballot must be postmarked by March 10. Otherwise, you may use an official ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on March 10. For drop box locations and more information, visit our website at sos.wa.gov/elections. Sincerely, Mark Neary Assistant Secretary of State What is #TrustedInfo2020? • #TrustedInfo2020 aims to highlight state and local election officials as the credible, verified sources for election information. • The nation’s Secretaries of State, 40 of whom serve as their state’s chief election official, along with other state and local election officials are continuously working to inform Americans about the elections process, including voter registration, state election laws, voting, and much more.

  • VOTING at HOME How Democracy Survives a Pandemic
    VOTING AT HOME How Democracy Survives a Pandemic Unite America Institute March 2020 Introduction Coronavirus hit the United States quickly and harshly. The impact on our economy, institutions, and way of life has been significant and will likely reverberate for years. The virus also presents a real and present danger to our democracy. Voter participation is a bedrock of a representative government, but voters should not be forced to assume a health risk to cast their ballots. As the virus spread in March, voter turnout plummeted as much as 20%.1 Officials in at least seven states delayed primary elections. But delaying the November 2020 general election is not an option. Fortunately, policymakers and election administrators have the time and tools necessary to respond — if they act decisively and expeditiously. The primary solution is the expansion of a tested, non-partisan reform already in place in many states: access to vote at home. Through this system, voters receive a ballot by mail, fill it out, and either mail it back or bring it to a secure drop-off location. Vote at home systems vary by state — including whether voters can request a mail ballot (often called an “absentee ballot”), can permanently opt-in to receiving one, or are automatically sent one. Vote at home systems maintain in-person polling locations for voters who need a replacement ballot, need support, or want to cast a ballot in a traditional booth. Besides providing a low-risk way for voters, especially the elderly and immunocompromised, to participate this November, there are many other benefits to voting by mail.

Across 11 states, NextGen America will register, engage, and mobilize young voters (ages 18-35) to remove Donald Trump from the White House, flip the Senate, and elect progressives up and down the ballot. NextGen’s program will target nearly five million voters in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin with on- the-ground field organizing on campuses and in communities, innovative digital tactics, and experiment-informed direct mail. Young people will account for nearly 40% of all eligible voters in 2020, and NextGen America’s program could determine the margin of victory from the top of the ticket to state legislatures. “Yet again, it’s going to come down to young Americans to save the country,” said NextGen America Executive Director Ben Wessel “NextGen America’s 2020 program will beat Trump, flip the Senate, and make sure that our generation has a prayer at a livable planet with a more equitable economy. We absolutely cannot afford to lose this year.” NextGen America’s record-setting $45 million program will register at least 270,000 young people to vote and gather at least 330,000 commitments to vote among young people who are already registered to vote.
