Bill > SB6084

This bill clarifies that it is illegal to vote more than once in the same election, whether that election is within Washington state or between Washington state and another state, and defines "same election" as any general, primary, or special election occurring on the same date, regardless of ballot content or mail-in dates, though it specifically excludes special elections held in conjunction with general or primary elections from this prohibition. The bill also amends existing law (RCW 29A.84.650) to explicitly state that intentionally voting in more than one election on the same date, either within Washington or between Washington and another state, is a class C felony, while reckless or negligent violations are a class 1 civil infraction, and this clarification is intended to correct a recent court interpretation and prevent confusion during upcoming elections.
