OLYMPIA (AP)—Secretary of State Sam Reed expects 46 percent of eligible voters will participate in Washington primary.

The Aug. 19 election marks the first use of the “top two” process. Reed says the novelty of the new system combined with the general interest in the governor’s race should improve voter turnout.
