Secretary of State Kim Wyman on Jan. 7 certified lists of candidates submitted by the state Democratic and Republican parties to be included in Washington state’s March 10 presidential primary ballot.

While President Donald Trump will be the only Republican candidate included on the ballot, Democrat party officials submitted a list of 13 candidates: Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg, Tom Steyer, Tulsi Gabbard, Joseph R. Biden, Cory Booker, Michael Bennet, John Delaney, Deval Patrick and Michael Bloomberg.

The ballots will also include a 14th option for voters to indicate a preference that delegates to the Democrat’s national convention remain uncommitted, while an “uncommitted” option will not be provided to Republican voters.

Voters who select the “uncommitted” option may only cast their vote for that option, state officials note, and voters may not vote for a candidate in addition to selecting “uncommitted” on a ballot.

All primary election voters must mark and sign a party declaration on their return envelope in order for their vote to be counted.

Though candidates from both major political parties will appear on the ballot, voters may only make one selection among their party’s list of candidates; this primary is the only statewide election in which voters are required to select a political party.

Ballots for the presidential primary will be mailed to registered voters by Feb. 21. Voters will have until 8 p.m. March 10 to return their ballots.

In previous years Washington state’s primary was held the fourth Tuesday of May — well after the field of candidates is condensed — but after years of working with state legislators to move the primary to an earlier date, lawmakers approved a bill in 2019 to advance the primary to the second Tuesday in March.

“Holding the presidential primary earlier in the year is a boon for Washington as it gives our voters a greater voice in the nomination process for U.S. President,” Wyman said. “By making Washington more relevant in this process, I’m optimistic we’ll see record-breaking turnout in March.”
