STATEMENT FROM COUNCILMEMBER FELDER ON THE WITHDRAWAL OF TODAY’S RANKED CHOICE VOTING LEGISLATION

“I’m disappointed that the Council was unable to vote on the Board of Elections Ranked Choice Voting Needs Assessment Amendment Act of 2025 today. Despite this delay, my team is committed to our vision and will put in the work necessary for moving this bill forward at a future legislative meeting. My opinion holds firm in that I do not feel confident the DC BOE is ready for a responsible and successful implementation of RCV in June 2026. More work is still required to ensure that RCV is implemented responsibly, equitably, and in a way that strengthens our democracy. We remain fully engaged in supporting the BOE in achieving the level of readiness needed to get this right.”
