The bill requires the District of Columbia Board of Elections to conduct a needs assessment for ranked choice voting.

The District of Columbia B26-0515 mandates the Board of Elections to assess staffing, technology, public education needs, and equity impacts before implementing ranked choice voting. It requires a detailed implementation plan, finalized regulations, a budget analysis, and operational timelines with key milestones. The Council adopts the fiscal impact statement in the committee report. The Board cannot implement new voting policies without a comprehensive needs assessment. This act takes effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day period of congressional review.
