Washington state
Washington is a state in the Pacific United States.
History
The history of electoral reform in Washington state goes back many years. Someone should write something about it. Here's what User:RobLa recalls off the top of his head:
- 1920s - A systems sometimes called the "Spokane method" (but similar to Bucklin voting was implemented, and then dropped.
- 1990s - The Washington Citizens for Proportional Representation was formed. This group has since been renamed to FairVote WA
- 2020s - Seattle Approves is formed
Local Options Bill
The Local Options Bill (House Bill 1722) seems like an important development.[1][2][3]
Advocacy
- FairVote WA - the Washington state chapter of FairVote[4]
- Seattle Approves - chapter of The Center for Election Science forming in mid-2020.
