King County has hit a 35% voter turnout in both the 2019 and 2021 August primaries, according to ballot data. It’s been since 2017 when the county dipped below 35% turnout.
Pete Hanning, the executive director of the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, has an approximate $5,000 lead on incumbent Dan Strauss in funding for the District 6 race, with both candidates receiving north of $85,000. Andrew Lewis, meanwhile, has more than doubled his challengers in funding, receiving nearly $95,000 for the District 7 race.
Public safety, housing and homelessness, public drug consumption, and local inflation have consistently polled as residents’ biggest issues both the city and the county are facing. In response to the poor voting turnout, beginning in 2026, some King County races will move to even years to attract a higher turnout. Voters approved this change in November 2022.When looking at the data released after each election cycle, a marked difference was found in voter turnout between even and odd election years, with an average of 1,076,000 voters during even years in King County compared to an average of 599,000 in odd years.
Washington State’s primary system has always been a little more unique compared to other states as, in 2004, the state changed its primary ballot system to advance the two people with the most votes into the general election, regardless of party affiliation. This has resulted in two candidates from the same party competing in the November election instead of having voters always choose their top candidates on a primary ballot just for their chosen party.
After some initial obstacles and challenges, the U.S. Supreme Court approved this voting system officially in 2008.
