AI Summary
This bill extends the period for voter registration in Washington state. It amends existing laws to allow people to register to vote up until 8:00 p.m. on the day of a primary, special election, or general election, instead of the previous deadline of 29 days before the election. The bill also requires county auditors to provide voter registration services at various locations, including voting centers and the county auditor's office, during the voting period. The changes in voter registration deadlines will be included in the state voters' pamphlet for the 2018 general election.
