[quote=Anonymous]From Martin Austermuhle for DCist: [url=https://dcist.com/story/23/05/18/dc-ballot-measure-ranked-choice-voting-open-primaries/]New Ballot Initiative Proposes Bringing Ranked-Choice Voting And Open Primaries To D.C.[/url] Essentially, some activists from wards 7 and 8 are trying to get a measure on the 2024 ballot for semi-open primaries (where independents can vote in any party's primary) and rank choice voting, which if passed would apply for the 2026 elections. They're teaming up with some of the people who ran the I-71 and I-82 campaigns. I think this is a positive advancement, it could manage to break up some of the political machines in this city and lead to better representation on the council (instead of having at-large members get elected with 14% of the vote). Definitely will be signing for it to get on the ballot and voting for it if possible. [/quote]
