Washington HB2574 addresses the removal of deceased candidates for nonpartisan office from ballots and the handling of votes cast for them.

Washington HB2574 establishes procedures for handling the candidacy of deceased candidates in nonpartisan office elections. If a candidate dies before the general election, their name is removed from the ballot if ballots have not been ordered. If ballots have been ordered, votes for the deceased candidate are not counted. If a primary was conducted, the candidate with the third-highest vote count in the primary qualifies for the general election in place of the deceased candidate.
