Flaw in Washington Registration Law Questioned
A Washington registration flaw could bar a voter on March 4. The law requires residency 11 months 10 days before registration and books close 20 days before the election. The constitution allows voting after one year, creating a three day discrepancy. Officials debate if a resident since March last year can register or vote. A provision allows voting with a good-reason excuse on election day.
