Starting with the 2026 Primary Election, your ballot will look different. This year, DC begins using Ranked Choice Voting!
Voters are free to vote for their favorite candidate, and they also have the power to rank their backup choices (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th) if they’d like.
If your 1st choice is in last place, your vote automatically goes to your next choice. This continues until someone wins over 50% of the vote.
