Clarifies that voting in both Washington and another state on the same election date is a crime.

The bill amends Washington law to clarify that voting in both Washington and another state on the same election date is a crime. It defines "election" as any general, primary, or special election and specifies that an election is the "same election" if the date is the same, regardless of the ballot content. The bill also makes reckless or negligent violations a class 1 civil infraction. This change aims to correct a court decision and prevent confusion during the 2026 elections.
