Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) For purposes of
			 RCW
			  42.17A.005, the secretary of state recognizes
			 as a minor political party a political party whose nominees for president and
			 vice-president qualified to appear on the ballot in the last preceding
			 presidential election according to the minor party nomination process provided
			 in chapter 29A.56 RCW . A political party that qualifies as a minor political
			 party retains such status until certification of the next presidential
			 election. This definition is for purposes of chapter 42.17A RCW only.
(2) As allowed by WAC
			 434-215-012,
			 434-215-120, and
			 434-215-130, candidates for
			 partisan office may state a preference for any political party and are not
			 restricted to stating a preference for a political party that meets the
			 definition of major or minor political party. A candidate's party preference
			 does not imply that the candidate is nominated or endorsed by that party, or
			 that the party approves of or associates with that candidate. With the
			 exception of elections for president and vice-president, a party's status as a
			 major or minor political party, or a candidate's preference for a major or
			 minor political party, plays no role in how candidates qualify to appear on the
			 primary election ballot, qualify to appear on the general election ballot, or
			 are elected to public office.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) On a
			 declaration of candidacy, a candidate for partisan congressional, state, or
			 county office may state his or her preference for a political party, or not
			 state a preference. The candidate may use up to eighteen characters for the
			 name of the political party. A candidate's party preference, or the fact that
			 the candidate states no preference, must be printed with the candidate's name
			 on the ballot and in any voters' pamphlets printed by the office of the
			 secretary of state or a county auditor's office.
(2) If a candidate does not indicate a party
			 that he or she prefers, then the candidate has stated no party preference and
			 is listed as such on the ballot and in any voters' pamphlets.
(3) The filing officer may not print on the
			 ballots, in a voters' pamphlet, or other election materials a political party
			 name that is obscene. If the name of the political party provided by the
			 candidate would be considered obscene, the filing officer may petition the
			 superior court pursuant to
			 RCW
			  29A.68.011 for a judicial determination that
			 the party name be edited to remove the obscenity, or rejected and replaced with
			 "states no party preference."
(4) A
			 candidate's preference may not imply that the candidate is nominated or
			 endorsed by the party, or that the party approves of or associates with that
			 candidate. If the name of the political party provided by the candidate implies
			 that the candidate is nominated or endorsed by a political party, or that a
			 political party approves of or associates with that candidate, the filing
			 officer may petition the superior court pursuant to
			 RCW
			  29A.68.011 for a judicial determination that
			 the party name be edited, or rejected and replaced with "states no party
			 preference."

			 system enacted as chapter 2, Laws of 2005, there is no distinction between

			 the ballot their preference for a political party, or stating no party
			 preference. The party preference information plays no role in determining how
			 candidates are elected to public office.

			 are filed purporting to nominate the same candidates for president and
			 vice-president by two different minor political parties, or both by a party and
			 as an independent candidate, the first valid certificate of nomination filed
			 with the secretary of state shall be accepted and subsequent certificates must
			 be rejected.
