Ranked Choice Voting Implementation Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025

This bill changes the timeline for implementing ranked choice voting (RCV) in Washington, D.C. elections, delaying its start from the 2026 primary to the first election held after January 1, 2027. It directly affects D.C. voters and election officials by postponing the use of RCV for citywide and council elections until the 2027 cycle. The key provision replaces the phrase "June 2026 primary election" in the election code with "first election held after January 1, 2027," clarifying the implementation date. The bill is temporary, expiring 225 days after it takes effect.
