A "yes" vote supports: requiring school districts and nonprofit organizations that regulate interscholastic activities to "prohibit biologically male students from competing with and against female students" in sports with separate team or individual competitions for male and female students; and requiring students seeking to participate in athletic activities designated for female students to submit documentation from their healthcare provider verifying the student’s sex, defined by certain biological factors.

A "no" vote opposes: requiring school districts and nonprofit organizations that regulate interscholastic activities to "prohibit biologically male students from competing with and against female students" in sports with separate team or individual competitions for male and female students; and requiring students seeking to participate in athletic activities designated for female students to submit documentation from their healthcare provider verifying the student’s sex, defined by certain biological factors.

Overview

What would the initiative do?

See also: Text of measure

The ballot initiative would require school districts and nonprofit organizations that regulate interscholastic activities to "prohibit biologically male students from competing with and against female students" in sports with separate team or individual competitions for male and female students. The ballot initiative would require students seeking to participate in athletic activities designated for female students to submit documentation from their healthcare provider verifying the student’s biological sex based on "reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels."

What do supporters and opponents say about the initiative?

See also: Support and Opposition

Speaking on behalf of Let's Go Washington, a Political Action Committee (PAC) that is leading the campaign in support of the initiative, Ahnaleigh Wilson and Frances Staudt said, "Biological men are competing in girls’ sports in Washington State, and it’s destroying fairness in girls’ sports. Title 9 created opportunities for women and girls to compete in sports, and those opportunities are being erased. As [two] female athletes who have been directly impacted by boys competing in girls’ sports, we are standing up for all 110,000 girls playing sports in Washington state middle and high schools. We’re too young to vote, but old enough to use our voice. We need moms, dads, grandparents, brothers and sisters to have the courage to stand up and protect fairness in girls’ sports.”

No Hate in Washington State, an organization opposing the initiative, stated that, "It’s true some people have a difficult time understanding what it means to be transgender, and we all want fairness and safety in sports. Only a handful of transgender girls play afterschool sports in Washington, yet IL26-638 will rollback Washington’s successful sports policy in place since 2007 and institute a statewide blanket ban. This poorly written initiative will subject many girls to invasive, medically unnecessary and harmful genital exams to verify their sex."

Background

Existing laws related to the administration of school sports

As of 2026, RCW 28A.600.200 grants each school district the authority to control, supervise, and regulate interschool athletic activities, and to delegate that authority to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association or any other voluntary nonprofit entity.

RCW 28A.640.020 grants the superintendent of public instruction the authority to develop regulations and guidelines to eliminate sex discrimination in certain public school structures, including recreational and athletic activities for students.

Initiative No. IL26-638 would change the enforcement of chapters 28A.600.200 and 28A.640.020 of the Revised Code of Washington by requiring compliance with a new section that would prohibit biologically male students from competing with or against female students in athletic activities that have separate classifications for male and female students.

Ballotpedia is tracking five ballot measures related to sports eligibility requirements based on sex.

Qualified

Two measures in Colorado and Washington that address transgender sports participation have qualified for statewide ballots in 2026.

State	Type	Title	Description
CO	CISS	Sex Requirement for School and College Sports Initiative	Require all K-12 and collegiate school sports teams to be separated based on biological sex, unless the team is co-ed
WA	IndISS	Sex Verification Requirements for Female School Sports Initiative	Require school and voluntary nonprofit athletics to prohibit biologically male students from competing with and against biologically female students

Colorado Require Separate Teams Based on Biological Sex or Co-Ed Teams for School Sports Measure

The initiated state statute would require all K-12 and collegiate school sports teams to be separated based on biological sex, unless the team is co-ed. It was filed by Protect Kids Colorado. It was cleared for gathering signatures on August 25, 2025. The deadline to submit signatures was February 20.

On March 16, 2026, the Colorado Secretary of State certified the initiative for the ballot.

Support

Protect Kids Colorado's campaign website says, "Bigger, stronger biological males are invading girls' sports in Colorado, taking away our girls' dignity, safety, and opportunity. Our ballot measure ensures girls' sports are protected, requiring sports leagues and teams be specifically designated male, female, or co-ed. Because girls' sports in Colorado should be for girls. That's it."

Opposition

Z Williams, co-director of the Denver nonprofit Bread and Roses Legal Center, said, "The number of trans athletes is incredibly small, and the number of gender-affirming surgeries done for transgender youth or minors is even smaller. We have two ballot measures … that are going to require hundreds of thousands of dollars, waste a lot of time, create a lot of confusion during the election over two pretty much manufactured issues.”

Washington Limit Participation in Female Sports to Students Verified as Biologically Female Initiative

The initiative to the Legislature would require schools and voluntary nonprofit athletics to prohibit biologically male students from competing with and against biologically female students in an athletic competition if the activity has separate classifications for male and female students. These requirements would apply to individual and team competitions. The initiative would require that a student athlete's biological sex be verified by their health care provider, "relying only on one or more of the following: The student's reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels."

Let's Go Washington is leading the campaign in support of the ballot initiative. It was filed and cleared for signature gathering in June 2025. The campaign submitted 445,187 signatures on January 2, 2026. On January 22, the secretary of state announced the petition met the signature requirement and certified it to the legislature.

The Washington State Legislature did not act on the ballot initiative before the legislative session ended on March 13, 2026, certifying the initiative for the ballot.

Support

Ahnaleigh Wilson and Frances Staudt, two high school athletes in Washington, said, "Biological men are competing in girls’ sports in Washington State, and it’s destroying fairness in girls’ sports. Title 9 created opportunities for women and girls to compete in sports, and those opportunities are being erased. As [two] female athletes who have been directly impacted by boys competing in girls’ sports, we are standing up for all 110,000 girls playing sports in Washington state middle and high schools. We’re too young to vote, but old enough to use our voice. We need moms, dads, grandparents, brothers and sisters to have the courage to stand up and protect fairness in girls’ sports."

Opposition

Washington Families for Freedom, the campaign registered in opposition to the initiative, said, "[T]his poorly designed initiative ultimately could put some girls at greater risk by subjecting them to invasive genital exams just to play on an after-school team. We should not impose a blanket ban that eliminates case-by-case solutions and distracts from affordability, housing, and other real problems facing Washingtonians."

Potential

Three ballot initiatives are in the process of qualifying for the ballot in Nevada, Maine, and Nebraska. All three measures would require sport participation based on sex, unless a team is co-ed.

State	Type	Title	Description
ME	IndISS	Birth Certificate Sex Requirement for Public School Sports Initiative	Require that public school sports teams designated for girls or boys be limited to students of the corresponding sex, as recorded on their birth certificate
NE	CICA	Sex Requirement for School and College Sports Amendment	Require schools designate sports team as male, female, or co-ed and prohibit male participation on female sports teams
NV	CICA	Biological Sex Requirements for School Sports Programs Amendment	Require that eligibility for sports or athletic competitions in public schools and colleges is based upon the biological sex of the athlete recorded at birth rather than gender identity or gender expression, and that biological males are not permitted to participate in a sport or competition designated for biological females

Maine Birth Certificate Sex Requirement for Public School Sports Initiative

The indirect initiated state statute would require that public school sports teams designated for girls or boys be limited to students of the corresponding sex, as recorded on their original birth certificate. The ballot initiative would also require public schools to maintain separate restrooms, locker rooms, shower rooms, and other private spaces for each sex. Schools would be required to designate athletic teams as male, female, or coeducational. Girls would be allowed to participate on male-designated teams when no female-designated team is available for that sport. The ballot initiative would allow students who are denied athletic opportunities or suffer direct injuries due to violations of the initiative to bring a civil action for injunctive relief, damages, and attorney’s fees against a school or the organization that governs interscholastic or competitive school sports.

Protect Girls Sports in Maine is sponsoring the initiative. The initiative was approved for signature gathering in November 2025. The campaign filed more than 82,000 signatures.

Support

Protect Girls' Sports in Maine said on its campaign website, "The truth is, males are currently in female sports, taking female trophies, and invading female safe spaces (like locker rooms and bathrooms). This is not a far away concept; it is happening right here in Maine. Concerned parents have brought these issues to their school boards, but the Maine Principal’ Association and State Legislature have failed to act. It’s now time that we – as citizens of this great state – decide for ourselves what we want for our kids."

Opposition

Harry Burke, campaign manager for U.S. House candidate Matt Dunlap (D), said, "Mainers are worried about healthcare and the cost of living. This is a manufactured issue from Republicans. Paul LePage is only trying to distract from the fact that he cut healthcare for working class people so he could afford to give massive tax breaks to rich people.”

Nebraska Sex Requirement for School and College Sports Amendment (2026)

The initiated constitutional amendment would require schools to designate sports teams as male, female, or co-ed. Teams designated as female would prohibit male sex students from participating. The amendment would apply to all public schools and college teams and any private-run school that competes against public schools or colleges. The amendment would also authorize the Nebraska State Legislature to pass laws to facilitate the amendment's operation.

Robert M. Shafer, Julie Slama, and Elizabeth Nunnally filed the initiative on February 26, 2026.

Support

Fairness for Girls, the campaign behind the initiative, said, "Nebraskans support preserving opportunities for young girls, protecting female athletes’ safety, and keeping the process fair. Biological males competing in girls’ sports pose a physical safety risk to young girls while also taking away opportunities for medals, tournament advancement and scholarships."

Opposition

Rainbow Parents of Nebraska said, "Trans people make up less than 1% of our state’s population. Trans athletes are an even smaller percentage of that 1%. This does NOT protect women as they like to claim. This is another distraction and an attempt to increase conservative voter turnout."

Nevada Biological Sex Requirements for School Sports Programs Amendment

The initiated constitutional amendment would require that eligibility for sports or athletic competitions in public schools and colleges is based upon the biological sex of the athlete recorded at birth rather than gender identity or gender expression, and that biological males are not permitted to participate in a sport or competition designated for biological females. Biological females may participate in a sport designated for biological males if there is no comparable sport or competition offered for biological females.

Protect Girls' Sports PAC filed the initiative in January 2026.

In Nevada, initiated constitutional amendments must be approved at two consecutive statewide general elections, which means if the initiative makes the 2026 ballot, it would also need to be approved in 2028.

Support

• Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo (R), who is sponsoring the Nevada initiative, said, "We are taking thoughtful steps to ensure girls’ sports are fair and athletes are safe."

• Adriana Guzmán Fralick, one of the directors of the initiative, said, "Title IX was instituted for a reason – to create a level playing field so that girls and boys have an equal chance to succeed in our schools. But there has been an attack on girls’ athletics that seeks to disrupt that equality. The people of Nevada do not support this, and I’m proud to help them make their voice heard on this issue at the ballot box."

Opposition

• Silver State Equality, which describes itself as Nevada’s statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, said, "We all want sports to be fair and student athletes to be safe. That’s why school districts and sports associations already make rules about who can participate in different sports at different levels. A blanket statewide ban overriding these rules would be bad for everyone, requiring young girls to answer invasive personal questions or even undergo physical inspections by strangers if they want to play sports."

• Washoe County Commission Chair Alexis Hill, who is running as a Democrat gubernatorial candidate in Nevada, said, "I think that this is all about politics to drive Republican turnout and it’s unacceptable and really a nonissue in Nevada."

Path to the ballot

Process in Washington

See also: Laws governing the initiative process in Washington

An indirect initiated state statute is a citizen-initiated ballot measure that amends state statute. There are nine (9) states that allow citizens to initiate indirect state statutes.

While a direct initiative is placed on the ballot once supporters file the required number of valid signatures, an indirect initiative is first presented to the state legislature. Legislators have a certain number of days, depending on the state, to adopt the initiative into law. Should legislators take no action or reject the initiative, the initiative is put on the ballot for voters to decide.

In Washington, the number of signatures required for an indirect initiated state statute, called an Initiative to the Legislature (ITL), is equal to 8% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election. Signatures for indirect initiatives are due at least 10 days prior to the beginning of the legislative session in the year of the targeted election.

In Washington, the Legislature has three options regarding Initiatives to the Legislature:

• (1) The Legislature can adopt an Initiative to the Legislature, in which case the initiative is enacted into law without a vote of electors;
• (2) The Legislature can reject or not act on the initiative, in which case the initiative is placed on the ballot at the next state general election; or
• (3) The Legislature can approve an alternative to the proposed initiative, in which case both the original proposal and the legislative alternative are placed on the ballot at the next state general election.

If an indirect initiative goes to the ballot, a simple majority vote is required for approval.

The requirements to get an Initiative to the Legislature certified for the 2026 ballot:

• Signatures: 308,911 valid signatures
• Deadline: January 2, 2026

Stages of this ballot initiative

The following is the timeline of the initiative:

• June 2, 2025: Brian Heywood, the founder and primary financier of Let's Go Washington, filed the petition for the initiative with the Washington secretary of state's office.
• June 13, 2025: The initiative was issued a serial number (IL26-638), a ballot title, and a ballot summary. It was cleared to begin gathering signatures.
• January 2, 2026: Proponents filed 445,187 signatures for the initiative for review.
• January 22, 2026: Secretary of State Steve Hobbs announced that a sufficient number of signatures were deemed valid after examining a 3% random sample of the submitted signatures.
• March 12, 2026: The Washington State Legislature did not act on the ballot initiative before the legislative session ended, thereby certifying the initiative as-written for the ballot on November 3, 2026.

How to vote in Washington

Poll times

Washington is an all-mail voting state. Individuals who prefer to vote in person rather than by mail may do so at local voting centers, which are open for 18 days prior to the election. The voting period ends at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Contact your county elections department for more information on voting center locations and times.

Registration

Check your voter registration status here.

To vote in Washington, one must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of the state, and at least 18 years of age. A person must also not be disqualified from voting due to a court order or imprisoned for a felony conviction in Washington, federal prison, or another state. Individuals who are 16 years or older can pre-register to vote.

One may register to vote online, by mail, or in person at a county elections department or voting center. Registration must be completed eight days in advance if done by mail or online. In-person registration is available through 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Automatic registration

See also: Automatic voter registration

Washington automatically registers eligible individuals to vote through the Department of Motor Vehicles, health benefit exchange, and other state agencies approved by the governor. After the person's information is processed they will receive a confirmation in the mail from the county elections office.

Online registration

See also: Online voter registration

Washington has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.

Same-day registration

See also: Same-day voter registration

Washington allows same-day voter registration.

Residency requirements

To register to vote in Washington, you must be a resident of the state. State law does not specify a length of time for which you must have been a resident to be eligible.

On November 7, 2023, the Washington State Alliance for Retired Americans filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington challenging a provision in the state constitution that requires voters to live in the state for at least 30 days before Election Day. In March 2024, a federal judge approved a consent decree, with the state of Washington agreeing not to enforce the provision.

Verification of citizenship

See also: Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States

Washington does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual must attest that they are a U.S. citizen when registering to vote. According to the state's voter registration application, a voter who knowingly provides false information or knowingly makes a false declaration about their qualifications "will have committed a class C felony that is punishable by imprisonment for up to five years, a fine of up to ten thousand dollars, or both."

All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment. Six states — Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring individuals provide proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. Two states, Georgia and Mississippi, require a person provide proof of citizenship if their citizenship status cannot be verified by other means. One state, Ohio, requires proof of citizenship only when registering to vote at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles facility. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.

Verifying your registration

The site Vote WA, run by the Washington Secretary of State office, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.

Voter ID requirements

Washington is an all-mail voting state and does not require voters to present photo identification (ID). Voters may choose to vote in person at a local voting center. According to state law, “The county auditor shall require any person desiring to vote at a voting center to either sign a ballot declaration or provide identification.”

The following list of accepted ID was current as of December 2025. Click here for the Washington State Legislature's voter ID regulations to ensure you have the most current information.

“

The identification must be valid photo identification, such as a driver's license, state identification card, student identification card, tribal identification card, or employer identification card. A tribal identification card is not required to include a residential address or an expiration date to be considered valid under this section. Any individual who desires to vote in person but cannot provide identification shall be issued a provisional ballot, which shall be accepted if the signature on the declaration matches the signature on the voter's registration record.
