Clarifies implementation of ranked choice voting in the District of Columbia.
The District of Columbia B26-0539 amends the District of Columbia Code to clarify the implementation of ranked choice voting. It ensures that the system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, and if no candidate receives a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed based on the next preference until a majority is achieved. This process aims to enhance the accuracy and fairness of election outcomes.
