Some elections in Washington could look different in coming years because of these 3 proposals

There are three proposals in the works that, if implemented, could dramatically change the way some elections in Washington are conducted.

Two such proposals are currently being discussed in the state Legislature. One would allow each county to implement what’s called ranked choice voting. The second would restrict general elections from being held in odd years after 2028.

The third could move Seattle to a system called approval voting. Advocates for approval voting hope the question of whether Seattle makes the switch will end up as an initiative on this year’s general election ballot.

Below are breakdowns of each proposal.
