A bill that would require Washington’s Secretary of State’s office to send statewide voters’ pamphlets along with election ballots to military service members where they are deployed passed the House State Government and Tribal Affairs Committee.  Goldendale Representative Gina Mosbrucker introduced House Bill 2916 after a military soldier testified before the committee that when deployed overseas, he receives his ballot, but not the voters’ guide.  The bill would require voters’ pamphlets to be mailed simultaneously as ballots are mailed so they are received at the same time.  It also requires any local voters’ pamphlets to also be sent at the same time.  The measure has been referred to the House Appropriations Committee for further consideration.
