“Seattle mailing out ‘democracy vouchers’ ahead of 2019 City Council elections”<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=103580>

Seattle Times:<https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-mailing-out-democracy-vouchers-ahead-of-2019-city-council-elections/>

Seattle is mailing out “democracy vouchers”<http://www.seattle.gov/democracyvoucher> for residents to donate to candidates in this year’s hotly contested City Council elections<https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/lisa-herbold-will-run-for-re-election-to-city-council-as-voters-test-seattles-district-system/>.
Officials intend to send the vouchers to 463,000 residents Tuesday, weather permitting.

All seven of the council’s district seats are up for grabs in 2019, and 39 candidates already have registered campaigns.

It’s only the second election cycle for the first-in-the-nation voucher program, which voters approved in 2015<https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/democracy-vouchers/> and which debuted in 2017<https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-candidates-already-on-hunt-for-democracy-vouchers/>.


Eligible residents each receive four $25 vouchers that they can sign over<http://www.seattle.gov/democracyvoucher/i-am-a-seattle-resident/faqs> to candidates who abide by special rules, such as limits on cash contributions and campaign spending.
