The resolution proposes an amendment to Article II, Section 15 of the Washington State Constitution, which outlines the process for filling vacancies in the state legislature and partisan county elective offices. Under the proposed amendment, vacancies would be filled by appointment from the county legislative authority of the relevant county, with the stipulation that the appointee must be from the same legislative district or county and, if applicable, from the same political party as the vacated officeholder. If the county legislative authority cannot reach a consensus within sixty days, the governor would appoint someone from a list of nominees provided by the county central committee of the relevant political party.

Additionally, the resolution specifies that in cases of joint senators or joint representatives, the vacancy would be filled by a nominee selected by the state central committees of the same political party, with the appointment made by the joint action of the boards of county legislative authorities. The resolution mandates that the Secretary of State publish notice of this proposed constitutional amendment in legal newspapers across the state at least four times in the four weeks leading up to the election, allowing voters to approve or reject the amendment during the next general election.
