Take Action on the Local Options Bill
House Bill 1156, Local Options for Ranked-Choice Voting, would:
- Allow local jurisdictions to use ranked-choice voting if they so choose
- Give local governments the option to shift odd year elections to even years
- Allow the state to help local governments implement options and cures to Washington Voting Rights Act violations

We’re laying plans to run a statewide ballot initiative in 2022, if needed to advance these policy goals.
