About Elections

King County Elections has a number of cutting-edge election security measures in place and works with formal groups and partners who provide oversight to ensure the counting process is secure.

The Elections Leadership Team oversees the day-to-day operations of King County Elections, helps set the priorities and vision for the organization and advises the Director on strategic and emergent issues.

About the Ranked Choice Voting Advisory Committee In November 2022, Seattle voters approved a ballot measure to use Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in Primary Elections for City of Seattle offices, including the Mayor, City Attorney, and City Council. Beginning in the August 2027 Primary Election, Seattle voters will rank the candidates in order of preference instead of voting for a single candidate.  The RCV Advisory Commitee was formed by King County Elections (KCE) to ensure transparency, accuracy, and community engagement in the implementation of Ranked Choice Voting for Seattle voters. This group represents diverse communities across Seattle and will provide input and advice to King County Elections throughout the implementation process.
