As a fully vote-by-mail (VBM) state, it is important to pay particular attention to how voters sign and return their ballot envelopes in Washington State.
Using voter-level ballot data from primary and general elections between 2020 and 2024, this study examines the causes of ballot rejections and explores disparities across different population sub-groups.

Scott W. Allard is the Daniel J. Evans Endowed Professor of Social Policy at the Evans School of Public Policy and
Governance at the University of Washington with research expertise in social policy, poverty, and inequality.
He is currently the co-director of the UW Elections Database project, focused on understanding the voter experience in Washington State. His most recent book, Places in Need: The Changing Geography of Po…
