西雅圖（2020年7月1日）自7月1日起，西雅圖市(City of Seattle)的民主代金券計劃(Democracy Voucher Program)面向有意使用民主代金券(Democracy Voucher)資助其2021年西雅圖市(City of Seattle)競選的候選人開放。 2021年，市長、市律政司和市議會8號和9號職位將進行投票選舉，並有資格獲得資助。民主代金券計劃(Democracy Voucher Program)為當地候選人提供了680萬美元用於資助其競選。希望競選公職的西雅圖居民可開始承諾參與該計劃並獲得計劃參與資格。 一場激烈的競選可能花費不菲，而如何獲得候選資金可能成為阻撓潛在候選人入局的障礙。BERK Consulting展開的一項獨立調查顯示，在2019年首次參選的候選人中，百分之四十五的人表示，如果沒有民主代金券計劃(Democracy Voucher Program)，他們不會參選。 行政主管Wayne Barnett表示，「民主代金券計劃(Democracy Voucher Program)的目標之一是透過增加候選資金來源，增加候選人數。民主代金券計劃(Democracy Voucher Program)可幫助我市的候選人從幾乎每一名西雅圖居民處收集代金券以獲得競選的資金支持。」 Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission提供一對一的候選人訓練。感興趣的候選人可聯絡民主代金券計劃(Democracy Voucher Program)，請致電：(206) 727-8855，或傳送電子郵件至：democracyvoucher@seattle.gov。 請瀏覽seattle.gov/democracyvoucher獲得候選人資源及更多資訊。
