Vote by Mail and/or Drop Box

All active registered D.C. voters and incarcerated voters who have registered should have received a ballot in the mail from DC Board of Elections. You can track your ballot here. Complete and sign your ballot, following instructions most carefully.

Complete and sign your ballot, and then drop it in a drop box near you well before the deadline (8 pm June 16). Note, the USPS may be less reliable currently, however you could mail your completed ballot (postage is pre-paid) postmarked at the very latest by June 16. You can contact DCBOE to confirm receipt at 202-727-2525 or via Corrlinks at outreachspecialist@dcboe.org.

In-Person Early Voting: 8:30am–7:00pm
Monday, June 8 – Sunday, June 14

Voting early is more certain than voting Election Day, by paper or electronic ballot, at an Early Vote Center. You don’t need to bring any specific form of ID, but if you are doing same-day voter registration, bring proof of D.C. residency with you (see acceptable documents for citizens here and for non-citizens here).

Vote in Person June 16, 7am–8pm

You can vote at any Vote Center regardless of your address by paper or electronic ballot. If you are incarcerated at the D.C. Jail, you can vote in person there during any DC voting day.

‘Ranked Choice Voting’ (RCV) Simplified

“Vote for the Best. Rank the rest, but
Don’t rank candidates you detest.”

In other words:

  1. Vote for your favorite candidate 1st.
  2. Rank your backup choices (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th)
    BUT – only rank candidates you support!
  3. If your 1st choice loses (last place),
    your vote simply moves to your next choice.

This repeats till one candidate wins over 50%.
