In many jurisdictions across Washington State, today is a special election day. While it is common knowledge that we hold a Top Two election in August and the general election (which is really more like a runoff, thanks to Top Two) in November of every year, state law also provides for two special election windows: one in February, and one in April. The April special election period concludes today.
In King County, there are several measures on the ballot. Just one is countywide — the others are confined either to cities or special districts.
So if you live in King County and are registered to vote, you got a ballot with at least one measure on it. That’s Proposition 1, which would fund the replacement of the region’s aging radio network for first responders. NPI supports a “Yes” vote on this levy; more details about it are available in this post.
Also on the ballot in King County:
Measures are also on the ballot in other counties in Washington State.
If you were sent a ballot, be sure to fill out and send it back in, either through a post office, or by taking it to a drop box. Don’t blow off this special election: vote and exercise your civic responsibilities!
We’ll have analysis of the results tonight after 8 PM.
