Published in full, because an organization that touches elections shouldn’t make you ask.
| Legal form | Washington nonprofit corporation, operating as a federal 501(c)(4) social welfare organization. |
| Members | One class of voting members, age 16 and up. Members elect the board and amend the bylaws. Electronic voting permitted. Annual membership meeting each year. |
| Board | Five to seven directors, staggered two-year terms, elected by the members. At least one seat reserved for a member under 30. Meets at least quarterly; remote attendance permitted. |
| Officers | President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer. The Treasurer may not be the President. |
| Chapters | The board may charter state and local chapters by written agreement. Chapters adopt these bylaws, use the name under license, remit a dues share, and hold charters revocable for cause, with nonpartisanship violations named explicitly as cause. |
| Finance | Administration capped at 5% of annual dues and donations, or $2,500, whichever is greater. Two signers required above a set amount. Annual financial report to members. Accountable-plan expense reimbursement. |
| Amendments | Bylaws amended by member vote. The nonpartisanship article requires a supermajority. Robert’s Rules apply by default. |
Eight articles, under ten pages. Complexity in bylaws is where small nonprofits go to die. Anything that changes often — dues amounts, event formats, committee charters — lives in board policy, which the board can amend by simple vote. The bylaws hold only what should be hard to change.
Nonpartisanship is in the bylaws. Deliberately.
