Seattle's democracy vouchers deserve renewal on August 5th
Top Two elections are always important. In our two-part general election system, they determine who will be a contender in the final round of voting.
And this August, Seattle voters have another critical issue on their ballot: renewal of the city’s innovative Democracy Voucher Program. The program is now ten years old and has enough evidence behind it to demonstrate that it has effectively opened the field to new, diverse candidates; reduced campaign reliance on large donations; and incentivized campaigns to reach out to more everyday Seattleites.
The Yes on Proposition 1 campaign emphasizes that the program shows Seattle’s leadership at a time when democracy is under attack across the country.
There is no opposition campaign.
