Vote by Mail and Find Drop Boxes

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. Complete and sign your ballot following all instructions most carefully. Then safest option is to find a drop box near you or see the complete list of over 50 by Ward right away, noting that the USPS is sometimes 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 or re problems at 202-727-2525, or via Corrlinks at outreachspecialist@dcboe.org.

In-Person at any Early Voting site: 8:30am-7pm, June 8-14

NOTE: 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).

Or Vote in Person June 16, 7am–8pm

First consider Early Voting or by mail ballot and drop box (see left column this page). But if you prefer on Tuesday June 16, you can vote at any DC Vote Center regardless of your address, by paper or electronic ballot. 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). If you are incarcerated at the D.C. Jail, you can vote in person there during any DC voting day.

‘Ranked Choice Voting’ 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 and so on)
    BUT – only rank candidates YOU support!
  3. If your 1st choice loses (i.e., is in last place),
    your vote is instead added to your next choice.

This repeats till one candidate wins over 50%.
