Today, we’re helping you prep for next week’s election with KUOW’s “Soundside.”

Don’t forget, your ballot is due in a ballot box on Tuesday night.

This year, Washington voters will decide if they want to ban transgender girls from participating in girls' sports. 

Initiative 638 has become one of the state's most contentious items of the ballot and it reflects a broader cultural divide on this issue across the country.

Parents, lawmakers and more shared their thoughts with Soundside, on what this initiative would mean for girls' sports.
