Washington

2026

Allows cities, counties, school, fire, and port districts to use ranked choice voting (RCV). In single-seat races, a non-RCV primary narrows the field to five; in multi-seat RCV, no primary. Ballots let voters rank at least five choices. The state sets uniform counting rules and requires strong voter education, including multilingual and accessible materials. Local jurisdictions pay RCV costs. Aims to boost turnout, reduce spoilers, and broaden representation. Effective only if funded.
