Washington voters will decide if affirmative action ban will be reversed

The decision of whether to allow affirmative action in Washington state is in the hands of voters.

Washington’s Office of the Secretary of State certified Referendum 88 Wednesday morning, which aims to repeal a Legislature-approved initiative to reverse a 1998 ban on affirmative action.

Supporters of R-88 turned in 213,268 signatures before the July 27 deadline, according to the secretary of state’s office. At least 129,811 signatures were needed to get the measure on the ballot.

The measure has enough signatures to make it on the November ballot, according to the secretary of state's office.
