State voter roll hits new high
OLYMPIA -- Washington has a record number of voters on its rolls as the Aug. 5 primary approaches.
The Secretary of State's office says it has 3,922,537 active registrations, which is more than previous highs before the 2012 and 2013 elections.
The number of voters ebbs and flows a bit over the election cycles, increasing in a presidential year then dropping back as the rolls are updated and people who have died are removed and those who haven't voted for years are placed on inactive status.
Ballots for the primary go out next week.
