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

Every 10 years, as required by the United States Constitution, the U.S. Census Bureau takes a complete count of the country’s population. Every person living in the U.S. is expected to participate. The Census Bureau collects data for statistical purposes only and is required by law to protect your individual identity. Having accurate, updated census information is vitally important. The information is used by Congress to distribute more than $880 billion in federal health, education, and infrastructure funds to states, counties, and cities based on population. Census information is also used by Washington’s bipartisan redistricting commission to draw new, equally-populated legislative and congressional districts that reflect the population growth and shifts over the past decade. The Census Bureau will begin collecting information in March 2020 and you can respond online, by mail, by phone, or with an in-person interview. You’ll be asked to complete a questionnaire with a few basic facts about the people in your household. It’s easy and confidential. Remember, everyone counts — so when you receive the official questionnaire, complete it for each person in your household.
