Yes on KCCA1 kicks off ballot drop week with media event

Yes on KCCA1 kicks off ballot drop week with media event

Posted on October 17th, 2022October 19th, 2022Author Andrew VilleneuvePosted in Events

This week, King County Elections is mailing out nearly 1.4 million ballots to registered voters across the county. Our campaign held a media event in Renton to kick off Ballot Drop Week and urge people to vote “Yes” on King County Charter Amendment 1.

About the campaign

Yes on King County Charter Amendment 1 is the effort to bring even-year elections to all King County offices.

Currently, King County elects its Prosecuting Attorney and Superior Court judges in high turnout even years, while the positions of Executive, Assessor, Elections Director, and Council are elected in low turnout odd years.

Passage of Amendment 1 will align all elections for county offices in high turnout even years, when most voters regularly turn out.

This simple timing change, which would be fully implemented by the year 2028, will have a greater effect on the participation in county-level elections than any other single reform we’ve adopted in the past, including prepaid postage for ballot return envelopes.
