Local Program Study 2013-2015: Elections Process in the District of Columbia

Summary of Study

In January 2013, LWV members decided to study The Elections Process in the District of Columbia, focusing on primaries and runoffs. Since then a small committee co-chaired by Abigail Nichols and Linda Beebe have researched voter turnout, election results, and election guidelines. After looking at positions taken by other Leagues and interviewing several individuals who have expressed opinions, they formulated questions for consensus. This paper is intended to provide context for the discussion.
