Washington state election officials say they would make an exception to allow a provisional certification of President Joe Biden to be on the general election ballot in November because of a conflict with that state ballot certification deadline and the Democratic nominating convention in August, ABC News reports.

Alabama and Ohio, as well as Washington, have notified the Democratic party of potential conflicts with the convention and the ballot certification deadlines that could cause Biden’s name not to appear on the general election ballots in their states.

The director of elections for Washington’s Secretary of State’s Office on Thursday sent a letter to the Democratic National Committee about the conflict with that state’s ballot certification deadline of Aug. 20, ABC News reports. The DNC convention is scheduled for Aug. 19-22 in Chicago. But the letter suggests that office would make an exception for the party if they submitted a provisional certification nominating Biden by Aug. 20.

On Tuesday, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen notified the state and national Democratic parties that the Democratic convention is scheduled to be after the Aug. 15 deadline in Alabama law for political parties to certify their nominees for the Nov. 5 general election. Ohio has an Aug. 7 deadline.

An attorney for the Alabama Democratic Party this week sent a letter to the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office also asking that Democrats be allowed to submit a provisional certification by the state’s deadline. Party attorney Barry Ragsdale noted in the letter that the secretary of state’s office allowed the Republican Party to provisionally certify Donald Trump and Mike Pence as its nominees in 2020 and confirm them when the nominations became official.

On Thursday, Sen. Merika Coleman of Jefferson County and House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels of Huntsville, both Democrats, introduced identical bills to that change Alabama’s deadline for political parties to certify their nominees for president and vice president to a later date.
