Why Voting in EVERY Election is Important

Voting in every election in Washington State is critical because many races are decided by extremely narrow margins, sometimes by just a handful of votes. Local and state elections, such as city council, school board, and legislative races, frequently see close results that can trigger mandatory recounts under state law. In fact, Washington has a history of elections being decided by fewer than 100 votes, and even ties that are settled by coin tosses or drawing lots. This demonstrates that each vote truly has the power to influence the outcome and shape the direction of communities and the state as a whole.

Participating in every election ensures that your voice is heard on issues that directly impact daily life, from education and public safety to transportation and environmental policy. Washington’s ballot often includes not just high-profile offices, but also important local measures and initiatives that determine funding for schools, the future of parks, and local tax rates. When turnout is low, a small group of voters can disproportionately influence decisions that affect everyone, making it even more important for all eligible citizens to participate consistently.

Moreover, voting in every election strengthens the legitimacy and accountability of government at all levels. High voter participation signals a healthy democracy and encourages elected officials to be more responsive to the needs of their constituents. It also helps safeguard against misinformation and manipulation by ensuring that election outcomes reflect the true will of the broader population. By making voting a habit, Washingtonians help preserve the integrity of the democratic process and ensure that government remains representative and effective.
