Governor Bob Ferguson signed a bill on Tuesday that prohibits double voting in Washington elections by fixing an ambiguity in the state’s law.“If you live here, you vote here. You don’t get to vote anywhere else,” Cortes said, according to the 'We've made ourselves an outlier': Downtown Seattle Association says business taxes are pushing out employers Harger: A Spokane jury said 46 years.
Washington's clemency board just decided 30 was close enough. Now it's on Ferguson's desk. In 2022, a Lewis County man was charged and found guilty of voting twice in the same election, once in Washington and once again in Oregon. The conviction was later overturned by a state appeals court in a 2-1 decision because the definition of an election in Washington law was unclear. The court decided that there weren’t any overlapping candidates or issues on either ballot, meaning they were separate elections. “Voting more than once in an election is an affront to everyone who participates in our democracy,” Governor Ferguson said. “This bill makes it clear that double voting is illegal. Those who try it will be held accountable.” Senate Bill 6084 will take effect immediately. The Governor’s Office noted that voting more than once in an election is a Class C felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.Governor Bob Ferguson signed a bill on Tuesday that prohibits double voting in Washington elections by fixing an ambiguity in the state's law.Trump says that he’s asked ‘about 7′ countries to join coalition to police Iran’s Strait of Hormuz Trump calls for seven nations to join efforts in policing the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring maritime security and open trade routes. ‘We’ve made ourselves an outlier’: Downtown Seattle Association says business taxes are pushing out employersThe third"No Kings" march and rally has been scheduled for March 28, as participants will march toward the Washington Capitol for a peaceful protest. ‘Number one priority’: Democrats celebrate ‘millionaire tax’ passage while Republicans vow pushback as session closesWashington lawmakers made history this session by passing the state's first-ever income tax, capping off a legislative session marked by marathon debates.Chrystal Ortega's tireless dedication recently earned her the WSECU Community Champions Award and a $1,000 grant to further the mission.When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive.
