DC Primary Politics

It’s primary day in the District, and voters are making their voices heard at the ballot box. But this election is different. For the first time, DC voters are using ranked choice voting in a primary election, allowing them to rank candidates in order of preference instead of choosing just one. So, how is the new system working? Are voters embracing the change, and when can we expect to know the winners? Our political roundtable breaks down what this historic election means for the District and what comes next.
