Why it’s Important

Civic engagement is essential for transforming systems of accountability. While national elections draw attention, state and local elections directly impact criminal justice policies, community care initiatives, and resource allocation in your neighborhood. 

These choices affect marginalized communities most directly. With typically lower turnout, your local vote carries exceptional power to advance justice, equity,
and the reimagining of community-centered solutions that prioritize care over punishment.

To register to vote in the state of Washington, you must be: 

  • A citizen of the United States

  • A resident of Washington state

  • At least 18 years old

  • If you are 16 or 17, you can sign up as a Future Voter and be automatically registered to vote when you qualify

  • Not disqualified from voting due to a court order

  • Not currently serving a sentence of total confinement in prison under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections for a Washington felony conviction

  • Not currently incarcerated for a federal or out-of-state felony conviction

Effective January 1st, 2022, if you were convicted of a felony in Washington State, another state, or in federal court, your right to vote will be restored automatically as long as you are not currently serving a sentence of total confinement in prison.

It's easy and secure to register online, by mail with a paper form, or at a county elections office. Check your registration at VoteWA.gov.
