Connect With the People Who Run Washington’s Elections

The only event where you'll meet election administrators from all 39 counties — the decision-makers who evaluate, select, and implement the tools behind Washington's elections.

About the Conference

The Washington State Elections Conference is the only event that brings together election administrators from all 39 Washington counties and the Office of the Secretary of State in one place. With over 300 attendees in 2025 — both in-person and virtual — this is your best opportunity to build relationships with the people who evaluate, purchase, and implement the tools and services that run Washington's elections. Hosted by the Washington State Association of County Auditors (WSACA), your partnership puts your organization in front of the decision-makers who matter most.

Who Attends

  • County auditors, election directors, and chief deputies
  • Elections managers, supervisors, and coordinators
  • Elections specialists, technicians, and clerks
  • IT, cybersecurity, communications, and policy staff

Conference Format

  • Monday: Partner-hosted user group sessions & welcome reception
  • Tue & Wed: Educational sessions, panels, and keynotes with the exhibit hall open concurrently
  • Tuesday evening: Optional Mariners networking outing (available for separate purchase)
  • Thursday AM: Closing sessions and exhibitor breakdown

All sessions are live-streamed via the conference mobile app, extending your reach to virtual attendees statewide. Partners are welcome to attend the welcome reception and purchase tickets for the Mariners networking outing.

How to Register

Partnership registration is a two-step process this year. Staff passes are now purchased separately to comply with Washington State tax requirements.

1

Purchase Your Partnership

Select your partnership level and complete payment. You'll receive a confirmation email with your partnership details and a link to register your staff.

Partnership levels range from
$1,000 – $6,000
Select Partnership
2

Register Your Staff

Register each person who will attend on behalf of your organization. Every staff member needs their own pass to access conference sessions, the exhibit hall, and conference meals.

Per person
$110.40
$100.00 + 10.4% sales tax
Register Staff

Why two steps? Under Washington State tax law, staff passes must be purchased as individual registrations with proper tax documentation. This is separate from your partnership investment, which covers your organization's tier benefits (exhibitor table, logo placement, lead retrieval, etc.).

Who needs a staff pass? Every person attending the conference on behalf of your organization — including those staffing your exhibitor table — must have a registered staff pass.

For returning partners: We have streamlined our partnership structure for 2026.

Base partnership prices have been adjusted to offset the new per-person pass fee. Please reach out with any questions about how the updated structure maps to your prior partnership.
