The August 2024 Primary Election resulted in Washington State's closest statewide race in history! The race for who will be in the General Election for our Commissioner of Public Lands came down to just 51 votes, which triggered a mandatory hand recount. So, what do the County Auditors and their election staff, who count the ballots, do during a hand recount? How does the recount work? 🎬 Watch the Whole Series: https://teachwithtvw.org/elections-explained/ 📣 Get easy to use WA State Civics Lesson Plans: https://www.teachwithtvw.org/lesson-plans/ After the incredibly tense 2004 Governor’s Race, the closest governor’s race in United States history, Washington State ushered in numerous election reforms that remedied the mistakes made. The 2024 recount of the almost 2 million votes cast in the August Primary only changed the overall vote total by 2 votes. Watch the counting in action and listen to Thurston County Auditor, Mary Hall, explain the process that ensures the accuracy of our elections.

I went to bed in one district, and woke up in another! Help your students understand how legislative districts work in WA. 📣 Get easy to use Washington State Election Lesson Plans: https://www.teachwithtvw.org/lesson-plans/ 2024 is an election year! Do you know who will be on your ballot? Every 10 years, our legislative and congressional district lines are redrawn and thus your district may have changed since the last presidential election. However, due to a legal challenge to the redistricting done after the 2020 census, 13 legislative districts changed as of the first week in April 2024. Don’t be surprised when your primary ballot comes in July!

2024 is an election year! Do you know who will be on your ballot? Every 10 years, our legislative and congressional district lines are redrawn and thus your district may have changed since the last presidential election. However, due to a legal challenge to the redistricting done after the 2020 census, 13 legislative districts changed as of the first week in April 2024. Don’t be surprised when your primary ballot comes in July! Check this map below to see if you are one of the 300,000 people who have new legislators representing them!
