Washington State is having primary in lieu of a caucus

42. No, you couldn't get a paper ballot if you were an out of state college student. I tried

to get one for my son. He didn't fall under one of the allowable categories.

What if I can't make it to my precinct caucus at 10:00am on March 26th -- can I still vote?
You must be present at your caucus location at 10:00am on March 26th and submit a sign-in form in order for your vote to be counted. We recommend arriving at your caucus 30 minutes early. The deadline to submit a Surrogate Affidavit Vote (in cases of illness, disability, work schedule, religious observance, or military service) was March 18th at 5:00pm, and has already passed.

Other people I knew lied to get one.

But you were right about their being no secret ballots. No one should have been able to bully anyone else, but it happened. And many people stayed home after attending one caucus because they didn't want to have to fight their neighbors in order to vote.
