Ballot Measures:
According to Ballotopia, “as of August 16, 2019, three statewide ballot measures were certified to appear on the Washington ballot on November 5, 2019.
- Referendum 88 requires a statewide vote on I-1000 (an initiative to allow affirmative action that was approved by the legislature), meaning a yes vote on R-88 approves I-1000 and allows affirmative action policies in Washington and a no vote on R-88 rejects I-1000 and continues to ban affirmative action policies in Washington.
- The state legislature referred one constitutional amendment to the 2019 ballot. The amendment would authorize the Washington State Legislature, during periods of catastrophic incidents that are considered emergencies, to pass bills that address the succession of powers and duties of public offices when the offices’ incumbents and legal successors are unavailable for carrying out the office.
- I-976, the $30 car tabs measure, was certified to appear on the 2019 ballot when the legislature adjourned without acting on the measure.
