2020 Washington elections

General elections were held in the U.S. state of Washington on November 3, 2020. A primary was held on August 4.

Washington has 12 electoral votes for the presidential election, remaining unchanged from 2016. A presidential primary for both parties was held on March 10, 2020, with 13 candidates for the Democrats and one candidate for the Republicans. The 2020 Democratic primary was the first in the state's history to have a binding vote, replacing the caucus system that overrode the nonbinding primary vote.

All 10 of Washington's seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for re-election. All but one of the incumbents ran for re-election, the exception being Denny Heck (D) of the 10th district.

Incumbent governor Jay Inslee (D) was re-elected to a third term in a landslide.

Incumbent lieutenant governor Cyrus Habib (D) retired from politics. U.S. Representative Denny Heck won the open seat.

Incumbent attorney general Bob Ferguson (D) was re-elected to a third term.

Incumbent secretary of state Kim Wyman (R) was re-elected to a third term. State Representative Gael Tarleton (D–Seattle) unsuccessfully challenged Wyman.

Incumbent Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz (D) was re-elected to a second term. She defeated Republican nominee Sue Kuehl Pederson in the general election by 13.5%.
