Conservation District Election Reform

King Conservation District is committed to pursuing election reform with the Washington State Legislature and making future elections more accessible to all voters. If you would like this election on the regular fall ballot, please contact your legislator at 1-800-562-6000.

HB 1567 (2023-24) requested a financial study of costs to put all conservation districts on the regular ballot. The study, Conservation District Elections in Washington — Final Report June 2025 was completed in June 2025.

KCD confirmed its commitment to conservation district election reform in a 2021 resolution calling for district elections to support financial transparency and disclosure, remove landowner/farm operator requirements, and for the Washington State Legislature to provide a statewide funding solution for Conservation District elections.

Resolution 21-007 – Resolving the KCD Board’s support of specific Elections Reforms

Conservation district elections are exempt from the election laws under Title 29A RCW. It will require a change to state law for conservation district elections to be on the regular fall vote by mail ballot. Conservation District elections are reviewed and certified by the Washington State Conservation Commission.
