Secretary of state offers voting information in pamphlet

Those who do not receive a pamphlet by Oct. 17 are urged to contact the Elections Division.

The Washington Secretary of State 2016 General Election Voters’ Pamphlet is being mailed to Washington residents over the next week, starting this weekend.

The Voters’ Pamphlet covers state candidates and measures found on the Nov. 8 general election ballot.

It includes information on the six statewide initiatives on the ballot, a proposed amendment to the state Constitution and two nonbinding advisory votes on revenue-related bills passed by the state Legislature this year.

It will be mailed to 3.3 million households throughout the state.

Accessible audio and text formats are available for voters who are blind or have limited vision.

Additional copies of the printed Voters’ Pamphlet are available in county auditor offices, libraries, post offices, long-term care centers and disability service centers.

The state office does not fact-check or correct statements or arguments by candidates or ballot measure committees. They are printed as submitted.

Those who do not receive a pamphlet by Oct. 17 are urged to call the voter hotline at 800-448-4881 or email the Elections Division at elections@sos.wa.gov for assistance.

Ballots will be mailed to registered voters Oct. 19.
