The District of Columbia One Vote One Choice Act would prohibit Washington, D.C. from using ranked choice voting in any of its elections—whether for local office, federal positions, or ballot measures. Under ranked choice voting, voters rank candidates by preference, and votes are redistributed if no candidate wins a majority on the first count. This bill amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to add a new requirement explicitly banning this voting method in D.C. elections. The legislation affects D.C. residents and the District's electoral processes but contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines. Introduced in April 2025, the bill was referred to the House Committee on Administration.
