District of Columbia One Vote One Choice Act
This bill prohibits the District of Columbia from using ranked choice voting in any election, including those for local or federal offices and ballot initiatives. It amends the Help America Vote Act to add a new provision (Section 305) explicitly banning ranked choice voting systems where voters rank candidates by preference. The law directly affects DC voters and election administrators by requiring all District elections to use traditional single-choice voting instead. This is a procedural change to federal election law, not a new voting right or policy.
