All-Mail Voting In November Is 'Possible' Amid Coronavirus Crisis, Washington Secretary Of State Say

Fourteen states have now postponed presidential primaries because of the coronavirus crisis. Calls for nationwide mail-in voting are growing over concerns that COVID-19 will threaten voter turnout in November.

Currently, only five states — Colorado, Oregon, Hawaii, Utah and Washington — conduct all of their elections by mail. Washington state recently held its presidential primary using mail-in ballots.

Washington’s Secretary says between her and the state’s Director of Elections Lori Augino, they have fielded at least 25 calls from other states asking about how voting in Washington works.
