Official Code § 1-1001.16(p)(2), which provides that the “Board [of Elections] shall publish the established legislative text of an initiative … measure in no less than 2 newspapers of general circulation in the District of Columbia within 30 calendar days after the date upon which the Board certifies … that the measure has qualified for appearance on an election ballot[,]” the Board hereby publishes the legislative text for Initiative Measure No.83, the “Ranked Choice Voting and Open the Primary Elections to Independent Voters Act of 2024.” Initiative Measure No. 83 was certified for ballot access on August 2, 2024, and will appear on the November 5, 2024 General Election ballot. INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. 83 SHORT TITLE Ranked Choice Voting and Open the Primary Elections to Independent Voters Act of 2024 SUMMARY STATEMENT If enacted, the Initiative would both: (a) implement ranked choice voting to allow voters to rank up to five candidates according to their preference in each contest for any office (other than political party offices); and (b) permit any voter who is not registered with a political party to vote in the primary election of that voter’s choosing for all offices (other than political party offices). This Initiative will not be implemented unless the D.C. Council separately chooses to appropriate funds for the projected costs. LEGISLATIVE TEXT BE IT ENACTED BY THE ELECTORS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this act may be cited as the “Ranked Choice Voting and Open the Primary Elections to Independent Voters Act of 2024.” Sec. 2.

(c) A new section 8a is added to read as follows: “Sec. 1-1001.08a. Ranked choice voting. “(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, beginning with the June 2026 primary election and for all subsequent elections thereafter, ranked choice voting as provided for by this section shall be used for each primary, special, and general election involving 3 or more qualified candidates for electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Mayor, Attorney General, Chairman of the Council, Delegate to the House of Representatives, members of the Council, members of the State Board of Education, United States Senator, United States Representative, Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, or any other elected official as defined in section 2(13). “(b) Each ballot shall allow a voter to rank up to 5 candidates, including a write-in candidate, or as many candidates as there are in the contest if fewer than 5. “(c) Each ballot shall contain instructions informing the voter of the following, subject to usability testing and modification by the Board based on ballot design and voting machine capability: “(1) That the voter may rank candidates in the order of the voter’s preference; “(2) That the voter may rank as many candidates as the voter wishes, up to 5 candidates; “(3) How to properly mark the ballot and indicate the voter’s candidate rankings; “(4) That assigning a lower ranking to a candidate will not harm the chances of candidates whom the voter assigned higher rankings; and; “(5) That the voter should not give more than one candidate the same ranking, rank a candidate more than once, or skip a ranking. “(d) In any single contest conducted by ranked choice voting, other than a general election for at-large members of the Council and any presidential preference primary election conducted under subsection (f) of this section, each ballot shall count as one vote for the highest-ranked active candidate on that ballot. Tabulation shall proceed in rounds, with each round proceeding sequentially as follows: “(1) If a candidate has a majority of votes among active candidates in a round of tabulation, that candidate shall be elected or nominated, and tabulation shall be complete; or “(2) If no candidate has a majority of votes among active candidates in a round of tabulation: “(A) The active candidate with the fewest votes shall be defeated; “(B) Each vote for the defeated candidate shall be transferred to each ballot’s next-ranked active candidate; and “(C) A new round of tabulation shall begin with the step set forth in paragraph (1) of this subsection. “(e) In any general election contest for at-large members of the Council, in which there shall be 2 winners, each ballot shall count as one vote for the highest-ranked active candidate on that ballot. Tabulation shall proceed in rounds, with each round proceeding sequentially as follows: “(1) If there are 2 or fewer active candidates, the candidates shall be elected, and tabulation shall be complete; or “(2) If there are more than 2 active candidates: “(A) The active candidate with the fewest votes shall be defeated; “(B) Each vote for the defeated candidate shall be transferred to each ballot’s next-ranked active candidate; and “(C) A new round of tabulation shall begin with the step set forth in paragraph (1) of this subsection. “(f) In any presidential preference primary election in which delegates are awarded to multiple candidates on a proportional basis, each ballot shall count as one vote for the highest-ranked active candidate on that ballot.

Except as otherwise provided in subsection (l) of this section, if 2 or more candidates are tied for the greatest number of votes and the tie must be broken to determine the winner or nominee, that tie shall be resolved pursuant to section 10(c). “(k)(1) If there are fewer than 3 qualified candidates on the ballot in a primary, general, or special election for electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Mayor, Attorney General, Chairman of the Council, Delegate to the House of Representatives, members of the Council other than those covered by paragraph (2) of this subsection, members of the State Board of Education, United States Senator, United States Representative, Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, or any other elected official as defined in section 2(13), that election shall not be conducted by ranked choice voting.

In such elections, the ballot shall allow voters to select 2 candidates, and the 2 qualified candidates receiving the most votes shall be elected. “(l) If the appointment of presidential electors following any general election for President of the United States is governed by the National Popular Vote Interstate Agreement Act of 2010, effective December 7, 2010 (D.C. Law 18-274; D.C. Official Code § 1-1051.01) (“Act”), then, in any general election for President and Vice President of the United States using ranked choice voting: “(1) The certification of the appointment of electors shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Act; “(2) The final determination of the presidential vote count reported and certified to the States that have enacted the Act, for purposes of the Act, shall be: “(A) In an election using ranked choice voting pursuant to subsection (d) of this section, the votes received in the final round of tabulation by each slate of candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States that received votes in the final round of tabulation; or “(B) In an election not using ranked choice voting pursuant to subsection (k) of this section, the votes received by each slate of candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States; and “(3) If two or more slates of candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States are tied for the greatest number of votes, the tie shall remain unresolved. “(m) The Board shall issue such regulations as are necessary to conduct elections using ranked choice voting.”.
