29A.36.104 - Partisan primary ballots--Formats. - Washington Statutes

Partisan primary ballots — Formats.

Partisan primaries must be conducted using either:

     (1) A consolidated ballot format that includes a check-off box for each major political party. The consolidated ballot must include all partisan races, nonpartisan races, and ballot measures to be voted on at that primary; or

     (2) A physically separate ballot format that includes both party ballots and a nonpartisan ballot. A party ballot must be specific to a particular major political party and include the names of candidates for partisan offices who designated that same major political party in their declarations of candidacy, as well as all nonpartisan races and ballot measures to be voted on at that primary. The nonpartisan ballot must include only the nonpartisan races and ballot measures to be voted on at that primary.
