VOTERS’ PAMPHLET STATE ELECTIONS

GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 7

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION 2

A message from Secretary of State Kim Wyman

Welcome to your 2017 General Election Voters’ Pamphlet! This important election features local races and measures that could have a major impact on you and your community. Voter participation data in our state shows many people only vote in the presidential election every four years. But often the decisions made in a non-presidential election year like this are more likely to impact your daily life. Decisions made by local elected officials determine things like the time it takes first responders to get to an emergency, the maintenance of our roads, or the books our kids read in school. This year, voters will elect the officials who make these important decisions – mayors, city council members, school board directors, and fire and port commissioners. Voters will also determine the outcome of local measures and some Washington voters will vote on special legislative elections to fill unexpired terms. For the first time since the late 1980s, there are no initiatives or referenda on the statewide ballot. However, there are various tax advisory votes on the ballot and this pamphlet contains information about these advisory votes. You’ll find several pages inside designed to help you with voting and the election process. Remember, in order to vote in this election you must be registered to vote in our state. If you are not a registered voter and want to vote in this fall’s election, you have until October 30th to register at your county elections office. By voting, you are making your voice heard as you help choose our government’s leaders. Please take a moment to read through this Voters’ Pamphlet, then fill out your ballot and return it by November 7th. Make an impact in your community and our state by voting this fall!
