Parents will likely be hyper-aware this year as their high school students are engaging in “youth voter registration.” This is legal and was passed through the Washington legislature in 2018 in HB 1513 in an effort to address low youth voter turnout and encourage participation of youth in the election process.

Last session Conservative Ladies testified in opposition to SB 5209 on January 31st in the Senate State Government & Elections Committee.

A citizen would have to submit a waiver in order to get out of their “legal” obligation to cast a ballot.
