Washington voters begin casting primary election ballots

Voting is underway in Washington’s Aug. 4 primary.

Across the state, voters are winnowing the field — in some races, a large field — of candidates for seats in the Legislature and Congress and on the state Supreme Court.

A handful of incumbents face challengers from their own party, adding spice to an already heated and busy electoral cycle.

If recent history is a guide, around 40% of Washington’s 5.1 million registered voters will participate in the election. Turnout was 40.4% for the 2022 primary and 40.8% in 2018.
