How many ballot measures were on the Walla Walla County ballot in 2022?

2 ballot measures went to Walla Walla County voters in 2022. Several can carry the same proposition number, so the number alone will not identify one.

Why do several measures share the same proposition number?

Each local body — a city, a school district, a fire district — numbers its own propositions from one, so a single county ballot can carry several “Proposition 1”s. The number alone will not identify a measure; the body that asked is what tells them apart.

Which of these measures was on my ballot?

This page cannot tell you. It lists every measure in Walla Walla County, but which appeared on your own ballot depends on the city and districts you live in, and we do not hold those boundaries. Your county elections office prints your exact ballot.

Walla Walla County Ballot Measures, November 2022

2 ballot measures went to Walla Walla County voters in 2022. Several carry the same proposition number, so the number alone will not identify one — the body asking is what tells them apart.

A measure number is assigned by whichever jurisdiction is asking, and almost every jurisdiction starts at one. The number is a position on a ballot, not a name for a thing.

Why we do not pick one for you

We could guess. We could put the county-wide measure at the top, or order by how many people voted, and most readers would land on the right one. We do not, for three reasons.

We do not know where you live: Walla Walla County contains dozens of overlapping school, fire, water and park districts. Which measures were on your ballot depends on your address, and this page has no address. Guessing would be an assertion about you.
The most-voted measure is not the most likely one: Ordering by turnout puts the largest jurisdiction first. Someone searching a proposition number is usually looking at their own ballot, and small-district measures are exactly the ones with no other coverage — the reason this page exists.
A confident wrong answer is worse than a list: A bare proposition number carries nothing to distinguish one jurisdiction’s measure from another’s, so a search engine has nothing to rank on but prominence — and the small-district measure is never the prominent one. A page that guessed would add another authoritative-looking answer with the same blind spot.

The distinguishing fact is the body that asked — the school district, the fire district, the city. It is on every entry above.

What this page will not compute

Each of these is a number a reader might reasonably expect. None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.

Which measure is yours: Requires your address against district boundaries. We have neither.
Which was most important: Turnout measures how many voted, not what mattered. A fire levy affecting 4,000 people can matter more to them than a county measure affecting everyone slightly.
A complete ballot: This indexes the measures we hold for this county and election. Coverage gaps are possible, so absence here is not proof a measure did not exist.
A merged history: Two measures sharing a number are not episodes of one thing. Each keeps its own page, its own results and its own records; joining them into a timeline would invent a continuity no ballot states.
A similarity score: No ranking of which claimant most resembles your query. A score is a guess with a decimal point, and the first reader it misroutes would be right to ask who computed it.

How this page is built

Every figure above is read from a primary source and rebuilt on a schedule. Nothing here is modelled or inferred; where a source is silent the page says so rather than filling the gap.

WA Secretary of State certified election results: Every measure listed, its number, the body that asked, and the outcome.
Grouping: Measures are grouped by the proposition number as it appeared on the ballot. The grouping is the finding — it is what shows a number was reused.
Not loaded: District boundaries, which is why this page cannot tell you which measure was on your own ballot.
