See How Your Elected Representatives Voted - By Topic
You can research how your current elected representatives voted, by topic, below. Please take the time to review the voting records. Quite often, an individual’s actions are far different than their words, especially as a politician seeking to be re-elected. If you see an area that is disturbing to you as a citizen, use this information to write letters to the editor, to bring up issues in the candidate forums, and discuss with your friends and neighbors.
Go to www.washingtonvotes.org to see how your State Representatives voted.
Each of us has an important role to play in our own government – which our founding fathers set up as, “of the people, by the people, for the people.” Let us remember these important facts – and hold our elected representatives accountable.
Voting Information 2022
New Washington Resident
(from clallam.net)
Welcome to Washington! As a new resident of Washington State, you can register to vote online with VoteWA, by mail, in person, or when you get your new state driver license or ID at the Department of Licensing. New enhanced drivers’ licenses are automatically registered to vote.
You may not vote in multiple states. Be sure to cancel any previous voter registration before you register in Washington. You do not have to choose a party when you register to vote in Washington.
Voting by mail
Washington State votes by mail. Mail elections are an alternative to polling place voting. Prior to each election, a ballot is mailed to every eligible registered voter. When ballots are mailed, each county elections office also opens a voting center for in-person registration and voting services through Election Day.
From the CCRP:
WE RECOMMEND that you take your ballot to the courthouse and drop it there if you can. There are the fewest steps in between where your ballot is placed, and the actual courthouse, where the ballot is counted.
WE RECOMMEND – If you can’t get to the courthouse, the next best place to put your ballot is in one of the dropboxes. There will be drop box observers 24/7 on the main ones located in Sequim, Carlsborg and Port Angeles.
WE RECOMMEND – Not mailing your ballot, especially on election day. Mailed is cycled through one of the mail mail centers usually in Tacoma, postmarked, and then returned to the courthouse here. With a shortage in postal workers, and the possibility of your ballot getting lost in the mail, it’s better to use the dropboxes. If you do need to mail your ballot, be sure to mail it in plenty of time to get your vote counted.
WE RECOMMEND that you check your voting registration status now. Go to: https://voter.votewa.gov/WhereToVote.aspx to check your voter status. You may need to update your address if you’ve moved, and haven’t done so. Once you receive and return your ballot, give it a couple of days, then go back to the registration website to verify that your ballot has been received. Once the ballot has been received and processed, it will reflect on that website as “processed”. If there are issues with your ballot, it will be reflected there as well.
THIS ELECTION IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IN OUR HISTORY. YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE! BE SURE TO VOTE.
Top 2 Primary
Almost all other states in the country conduct nominating Primary Elections. In these states, the purpose of the Primary is to select each political party’s nominee who will represent the party in the General Election.
In Washington’s Top 2 Primary, conducted the first Tuesday in August, the purpose is to narrow the number of candidates down to the top two finishers, regardless of a candidate’s party preference.
Being an informed voter
Washington has many ways to help voters become informed about ballot measures and candidates:
- The state General Election Voters’ Pamphlet is mailed to every household in Washington.
- Voters’ Pamphlet is available online in PDF, Text, and Audio. You can also view the Voters’ Pamphlet in Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese. Go to the results page, select your desired election year, and click on the “Voters’ Guide” link to see all your options.
- For personalized ballot measure and candidate information online, go to VoteWA.
- For local races, visit the website for your county elections department.
- 16 and 17 year olds may sign up for the Future Voter Program and be automatically registered to vote after turning 18.
