Washington has conducted elections entirely by mail since 2011, but concerns about voter verification, ballot security and public confidence continue to fuel debate over the system. In a recent opinion column, Nancy Churchill argues that Washington should move toward in-person voting, require stronger citizenship and identification checks, and place greater reliance on paper ballots counted under bipartisan observation. This week’s poll asks whether the state should reconsider its statewide vote-by-mail system or strengthen the safeguards already in place.
