Electoral reform in Washington (state) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Electoral reform in Washington (state) Electoral reform in Washington refers to efforts to change the voting laws in the U.S. State of Washington. In 2006, Pierce County's electorate adopted Amendment 3, voting to switch to instant-runoff voting, a voting system in which voters rank candidates in order of preference.〔(IRV Washington )〕 Part of the impetus for this measure was dissatisfaction with the "pick-a-party primary" system.〔(Instant runoff voting: speaking to voter needs ), Krist Novoselic, Seattle Times, Jan. 3, 2007.〕 Washington requires 1,000 petition signatures for printed ballot access.〔(Bowles for President ).〕 Voting rights of felons are restored upon completion of sentence, including prison, parole, and probation.〔(Felony Disenfranchisement Laws ), Brennan Center.〕 Bills to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and award Washington's 11 electoral votes to the winner of the nationwide popular vote winner were introduced in both houses of the Washington State Legislature in 2007, but they died. The Bill was re-introduced in 2009, passed, and was signed into law. In 2005, Toby Nixon, a Republican member of the Washington State House of Representatives, started a campaign to implement the Schulze method for the election of the governor of Washington. However, this campaign ended abruptly when Toby Nixon wasn't re-elected in 2006. ==See also== Electoral reform in the United States
