SB5903 modifies Washington cemetery district elections to align with general election laws, eliminating primary nominations.

SB5903 amends Washington law to change how cemetery district elections are conducted. It eliminates the primary election for nominating candidates, instead requiring all candidates to appear on the general election ballot. If only one candidate qualifies for a commissioner position, that person is automatically elected without the position appearing on the ballot. Vacancies on the board of cemetery district commissioners are filled according to the procedures outlined in chapter 42.12 RCW.
