Wyman Certifies Washington’s 2020 General Election

Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman officially certified the state's 2020 General Election Tuesday.

According to her office, over 4.1 million Washingtonians voted in the election, the most in any election in state history. The turnout rate was less than half a percent shy of the all-time record of 84.6%, set in the 2008 General Election.

Said Wyman, "Our 39 county election officials worked tirelessly to process and count more ballots than this state has even seen. We believe this election's success is also due to our strong relationships with the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, U.S. Postal Service, and Washington National Guard that helped secure our elections and earn voter confidence."

In the two weeks leading up to the election, over 55,000 people registered to vote, 20% of them on Election Day.
