Voting

Fair Vote - This month, the Washington, DC Board of Elections approved Initiative 83 to appear on the November ballot, determining that organizers had surpassed the number of signatures required from across the city. If it passes, the initiative would bring ranked choice voting to DC’s elections, and let independents vote in the taxpayer-funded primary of their choice. Ranked choice voting would ensure candidates win DC elections with majority support from voters. That would make a big difference for the city, which has a long history of crowded elections and “vote-splitting.”
