No need to delay: Not only did the Board of Elections clearly state that they are ready and capable of implementing ranked choice voting, but the voters already told us how they "assessed the need" by overwhelmingly passing it at the ballot box.

NEWS: Ward 7 Councilmember Wendell Felder is introducing emergency legislation that would delay ranked-choice voting, which is currently set to be rolled out in D.C. in 2026. His bill would mandate that Board of Elections conduct an assessment on what it would need to implement RCV.

Voters were clear that this was what they wanted. It’s a good program that expands democracy and the Board of Elections has told us they are ready to implement. It’s time to move forward.

Fresh off grilling elections officials at a hearing yesterday, Wendell Felder introduces a bill meant to delay the implementation of ranked-choice voting.

A similar push failed during the budget talks. And, FWIW, BOE said Monday it was on track to have RCV ready by June...
On Tuesday, Councilmember Felder introduced emergency legislation to require the Board of Elections (BOE) to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to ensure the District’s institutional readiness for implementing ranked choice voting (RCV). The needs assessment would analyze voter awareness and public perceptions of the ranked choice voting system, assess the equity and access implications of ranked choice voting for historically marginalized communities, review best practices and implementation experiences from other jurisdictions, and require the Board to submit a report to the Mayor and the Council. The report would include a RCV implementation plan, a full cost model, an operational timeline with critical milestones and a comprehensive voter outreach and education plan. “I am grateful to the Board of Elections for joining us at yesterday’s public roundtable to answer our questions on ranked choice voting and the work they have done thus far to prepare District voters for this change, and I appreciate their transparency in sharing their current shortcomings and needs,” said Councilmember Felder. “Honoring the will of the voters means protecting voter access, voter understanding, and voter confidence — especially for communities that have historically been disenfranchised in our election systems. Based on what I heard yesterday, I do not feel confident that the DC BOE is ready for a responsible and successful implementation of RCV in June 2026, In order to reach that place with RCV, more work needs to be done. That’s why I’m introducing this legislation today and I call on my colleagues to join me in this effort to ensure that RCV is implemented responsibly, equitably, and in a way that truly strengthens our democracy.”
