Board of Elections Certification of ANC Vacancies Amendment Act of 2025
This bill changes how vacancies in Washington, D.C.'s Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) are filled. It requires the Board of Elections to oversee the process, including publishing vacancies within 15 days, verifying candidate petitions with at least 25 neighborhood voters, and banning petition signers from altering voter information. If only one qualified candidate applies, the Board certifies them directly; otherwise, the ANC holds a meeting with at least two commissioners (no quorum needed) to select a replacement. These changes apply directly to ANCs and their members filling vacancies, streamlining the process and increasing Board oversight.
