A registered voter may transfer his or her registration to another county by submitting a new voter registration application, or returning a signed confirmation notice that provides the new address.
The county auditor shall expedite the mailing of a confirmation notice to complete the county-to-county transfer.
The minimum information necessary to complete the transfer to the new county is:
(1) Name;
(2) Residential address;
(3) A signature on the oath in RCW
29A.08.230; and
(4) Either date of birth or voter ID number. The new county may request additional information to confirm that the registration application is a transfer.
When a voter requests to transfer after ballots have been mailed, the county auditor shall verify that a ballot has not been accepted for that voter. If a ballot has not been accepted, complete the transfer and issue the voter a current ballot.
