Primary Voter Registration Deadline is Today
Are you registered to vote in the District? If not, click immediately on this link and complete an online voter registration form in order to be eligible to vote in the Sept. 9 primary. This year's ballot includes D.C. Council races in Wards 2, 4, 7, and 8, plus an at-large seat and our shadow delegation. And if you're new to the District, allow us to fill you in: because the city generally votes 9 to 1 Democratic, with a few exceptions, the primaries are the real elections here. If you want to have a say in this year's city elections, you need to vote in the primary. If you're not sure if you're registered or not, you can check your status here.

Hey! I vote in the Republican primary. Well, it's not really "voting" in the traditional sense -- it's more like coloring in bubbles next to blank write-in candidates but it makes me feel special.

Ah yes - the DC Board of Elections and Ethics.
Without them our non-voting members of Congress would be demoted to 'unelected, non-voting members'..and there goes that sweet parking space behind the Rayburn building and the key to the Rep's washroom.
And as for the ethics side of things.. well lets just focus on the elections for now.
