Washington HB2460 amends procedures for filling vacancies in partisan and nonpartisan county offices.

Washington HB2460 modifies the process for filling vacancies in partisan and nonpartisan county offices. If a vacancy occurs in a partisan county office after the general election and before the next term, the successor's term starts upon qualification and continues through the elected term. For nonpartisan county offices, the successor must be from the same legislative district. If the county legislative authority cannot agree on an appointment within 60 days, the governor appoints from a list of nominees.
