From the News Tribune:
Last year, Washington state residents were able to start registering to vote online. Soon, military and voters abroad might be able to cast their votes the same way.
“This is just the next logical step,” Secretary of State Sam Reed says of his proposal to make it easier for Washingtonians abroad to vote. “I would like to get to the point where we’re able to have them apply to vote online. We would issue them a PIN number and they would be able to vote from anywhere in the world.”
If approved by the Legislature, Reed’s proposal doesn’t lay out a timetable and requires that the Secretary of State’s Office ensure the security and secrecy of the ballots.
