This important election will decide local, state, and national races and issues. All 10 of Washington’s congressional seats and a statewide race for the U.S. Senate are on the ballot in this election, as are all 98 seats in the state House of Representatives and 25 of 49 seats in the state Senate. City and county elections will select judges, council members, and other officials who administer day-to-day government functions locally. Several statewide initiatives are on the ballot this year as well, with the potential to significantly affect public policy and Washingtonians’ lives. For more than a century, citizens have used petitions to place issues directly before the state’s voters, and the Voters’ Pamphlet has provided valuable information about what each proposal would do. Inside this edition of the Pamphlet, you’ll find explanations of each initiative, the impact each would have on state government finances, and arguments for and against. To participate in this election, you must be registered to vote in Washington. You may check your registration status anytime online at MyVote.wa.gov.
