Precinct Committee Officer Candidates Asked to Re-file

Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman's office is asking anyone who filed online Monday or Tuesday to run for a precinct committee officer, or PCO, position to re-file by 4:00 pm Friday, May 15th.

The office contacted PCO candidates on Tuesday with instructions for resubmitting their filing.

An update Tuesday to the online filing portal now requires candidates to attest they belong to the political party for which their position is affiliated with. The original filing system required the candidate to choose a party, but did not provide the requirement for PCO candidates to declare membership with the appropriate political party.

The request applies only to PCO candidates who filed online.
