(5) "Primary-only voters" means a voter who is 17 years of age on the day of the primary but will reach the age of 18 on or before the date of the following November general election. Primary-only voters are only authorized to participate in primary elections and prohibited from participating in any special or general election.

(6) "Standard primary ballots" are ballots issued to all voters who are at least 18 years of age on the date of the primary that contain all applicable issues and candidate races for that ballot style.

As authorized by RCW 29A.08.170, persons signed up to register to vote as part of the future voter program are eligible to vote in state and local primaries and presidential primaries if they are 17 years of age on the day of the primary and will be 18 years of age on or before the day of the associated subsequent November general election.

The county auditor may issue standard primary ballots to primary-only voters that contain all eligible races in a state, local, or presidential primary if there are no contests prohibited to primary-only voters on the ballot. When a contest prohibited to primary-only voters is held on the date of the primary as specified in RCW 29A.04.311, county election offices must issue primary-only voter ballots to primary-only voters.
