Voters in the District of Columbia don’t have a say in which party wins congressional majorities. But on Nov. 5, half a million voting-age residents will have the chance to weigh in on which presidential candidate wins the District’s three Electoral College votes, the makeup of its city council, and an initiative to implement ranked-choice voting.

Initiative 83 has also attracted more attention than most races for elected office. Voters will either approve or reject a proposal to implement ranked choice voting in the District’s primary elections, allowing voters to rank up to five candidates for office. It would also open the primary to all voters, regardless of party affiliation.
Voters will elect the city’s non-voting delegate to the U.S. House, where Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton is running for an 18th term. The city’s unofficial shadow U.S. House seat and one of two shadow U.S. Senate seats are also on the ballot. Created in 1990, the shadow senators and representative are not officially members of Congress and instead serve as advocates for D.C. representation and statehood.
