Washington Precinct Committee Officers must re-file

OLYMPIA, Wash.-- Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman’s office says anyone who filed online Monday or Tuesday to run for a position as a precinct committee officer, or PCO, needs to re-file by 4:00 pm Friday, May 15th.

The office contacted PCO candidates on Tuesday with instructions for resubmitting their filing.

An update to the online filing portal on Tuesday now requires candidates to attest that they belong to the political party with which their position is affiliated.

The original filing system required the candidate to choose a party, but did not provide the requirement for PCO candidates to declare membership with the appropriate political party.

The request applies only to PCO candidates who filed online.
