WCV's Weekly Election Update is your resource for pertinent voting information, actions to take, and upcoming events hosted by WCV-endorsed candidates. Local elections impact the future of our environment and communities. Electing pro-environment local governments is a crucial factor in creating an equitable, just, and healthy environment for all, especially on issues we all care about like housing justice, clean water, and public transportation.

Return your ballot! Washingtonians across the state are turning their ballots in to vote for City Council members, Port Commissioners, County Council members, and more. Your vote can make a huge difference in these local elections that are often won or lost by just a handful of votes.

Check out who WCV endorsed in your community or see the recommendations in the Progressive Voters Guide. 

Didn't receive a ballot? Every registered voter should have already received a ballot so log into your voter portal here to make sure your information is up to date, request a replacement ballot, or contact your county elections department.
