How Can I Register To Vote? 

The registration deadline to vote is October 18 but if you miss the registration deadline, you can now register and vote in person on Election Day.  Click here for information on how to register.

When Can I Vote? 

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8 from 7am to 8pm. If you are unable to vote that day, early voting begins October 31st and will continue until November 6.

Who’s On The Ballot? 

Mayor:

  • Incumbent Muriel Bowser (D)
  • Stacia Hall (R)

D.C. City Council:

  • Wards; 1, 3, 5 & 6 

Initiative 82

  • Despite this not being a new issue, D.C. voters will be able to vote again on tipped wage in D.C. Fox5 breaks what this all means down, “currently, tipped workers such as servers or bartenders are paid $5.35 an hour and are allowed to collect tips on top of that. If tips don’t equal the minimum wage of $16.10 an hour, employers have to make up the difference. Initiative 82 would phase out the tipped wage, and after 2027 employers would have to pay formerly tipped workers the full minimum wage of $16.10 an hour. In 2018, 55% of voters approved similar measures, but the D.C. Council voted to overturn the public vote due to pushback from the hospitality industry.”
