💨 Abstract

Council members Anita Bonds and Wendell Felder proposed delaying ranked choice voting until 2027, citing concerns about the D.C. Board of Elections' preparedness and lack of public education. They argued that marginalized communities might be disproportionately affected. However, At-Large Council member Christina Henderson defended the board's ability to implement the system by the June 2026 deadline.
