If you are a registered Democrat, Republican or Statehood Green in the District, today is primary day, so DCist encourages to get out and vote. There are some hotly contested city council races, including that of Marion Barry, the former mayor who is trying to regain his old city council seat in Anacostia.

There are plenty of voter resources. The Common Denominator has a good voter guide, as does the Post.

And then there’s more good stuff from the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics.
