OLYMPIA (AP) — If Governor Inslee signs it into law, Washington state’s presidential primary will move from May to March under a measure passed Monday by the Legislature.

The Legislature’s action comes days after Inslee announced his presidential campaign.

The measure moves the primary to the second Tuesday in March, and each party, instead of the secretary of state, would determine which names are placed on the ballot representing the parties.

Washington has both a presidential primary and a caucus system. In 2016, Republicans used the May primary to allocate delegates while Democrats opted for the caucus system to divvy up their delegates and ignored the primary results

State Democrats are expected to make a decision in early April on which method they’ll use to allocate delegates in 2020.

Although Washington has no party registration, the primary requires voters to attest to being either Republican or Democrat. That gives the state parties important information for their voter lists. Residents’ party choices are public record, while their votes remain private. That practice continues under this new bill. Floor amendments to allow for voters who don’t want to affiliate with either party to cast a vote failed in both the Senate and House.
