Washington's Referendum 71 was approved by voters on November 3rd with 51% of the vote in favor of domestic rights. On the other hand, I-1033 failed to pass after garnering only 45% of the vote. According to state officials approximately 395,000 ballots still remain to be counted, therefore Referendum 71 will not go into effect until the election is certified.
