Candidates & Data Information
Since the passage of SB 5459 concerning requests for records containing election information, the state becomes the official source of data from VoteWA. Please use the links below provided by the State for requests for data. A matchback report includes a list of voters in a current election that have returned a ballot. The file contains the same information as a voter data request but will also include: a list of ballots received, accepted, or challenged. Matchback data is available for download for free online at Reports, Data & Statistics through The Office of the Secretary of State, Elections Division.
