Wash. Admin. Code § 391-25-630

Current through Register Vol. 24-12, June 15, 2024
Section 391-25-630 - Procedure where conduct objections are filed

If objections allege improper conduct under WAC 391-25-590(1)(a) or (2), other parties may be requested to respond to the objections within a period of time established by the agency. The period must be seven days or more.

(1) If the objections and any responses indicate there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that one of the parties is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law, the commission may issue a summary judgment in the matter.
(2) If the objections and any responses raise material questions of fact which cannot be resolved without a hearing, the matter may be remanded to the executive director to conduct further proceedings under WAC 391-25-390. Hearings on objections to conduct affecting the results of an election may be consolidated with hearings on challenged ballots in the same proceeding.
(3) The objections, any responses, and the record made at any hearing on the objections must be referred to the commission.
