Washington State voters enacted contribution limits in 1992 by approving Initiative 134. The Public Disclosure Commission enforces these limits and has the authority to make inflationary adjustments at the beginning of even numbered years. Only the Legislature or the voters, through the initiative process, can make other changes to contribution limits, such as expanding or eliminating them.
Party preference must be included in any form of advertising about a candidate seeking election to a partisan office, regardless of who sponsors the ad.
Official symbols or logos adopted by the state committee of the party may be used to indicate a candidate's party preference in political advertisements instead of words. Acceptable abbreviations that may be used for party preference are:
