This bill establishes a new chapter in Title 29A RCW to ensure compliance with the Washington Voting Rights Act of 2018. It defines "covered jurisdictions" as political subdivisions that have faced legal actions related to voting rights violations or that meet specific demographic and voting participation criteria concerning protected classes. The bill outlines what constitutes a "covered practice," which includes changes to election methods, district boundaries, and voting accessibility, and mandates that any covered jurisdiction must seek either a declaratory judgment from the superior court or a certification of no objection from the attorney general before implementing such practices.

Additionally, the bill provides mechanisms for aggrieved parties to challenge actions taken by covered jurisdictions or the attorney general's certifications. It requires the secretary of state to designate covered jurisdictions biannually based on available data and mandates the attorney general to maintain a publicly accessible website with relevant information. The bill emphasizes the importance of protecting the voting rights of marginalized groups and ensures that any changes to electoral processes do not diminish their ability to participate in the political process.
