District of Columbia One Vote One Choice Act

This legislation, known as the "District of Columbia One Vote One Choice Act," proposes to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 . Its primary purpose is to prohibit the use of ranked choice voting in all elections held within the District of Columbia. Specifically, the bill introduces a new section into the Help America Vote Act, which explicitly states that the District of Columbia cannot conduct any election using a system where voters rank candidates by preference. This prohibition applies broadly to any election for public office , including those for federal office, as well as any ballot initiative or referendum . The intent is to prevent the implementation or continuation of ranked choice voting methods for all electoral processes in the District of Columbia.
