The amendment will go to the full county council for approval at a June 28 meeting. If approved there, the proposal will go to voters on the ballot in November.
“I am committed to making our elections as fair and accessible as possible, and the data is clear that voter turnout during odd-year elections is dramatically lower than even-year elections, meaning many voters have no voice in who represents them in key offices,” said Councilmember Claudia Balducci, who introduced the proposal. “Moving county races to even years means we’re welcoming participation by more voters and more diverse voters—younger people, people of color, renters.
Since 2010, King County’s average voter turnout rate is 77% in even-numbered years compared to 47% in odd-numbered years, according to Balducci.
