DC Democratic Party Passes Vote By Mail Resolution

The DC Democratic Party has passed a resolution calling for the implementation of full Vote By Mail for the November election. This would make it so that DC voters would automatically be mailed a ballot for the General Election, without the need to fill out a form to request one, and with the hopes that ballots would be sent out far enough in advance that anyone who did not receive their ballot would have time to remedy the issue.

We have also sent an open letter to DC Board of Elections Director Michael Bennett urging him and the BOE to institute these changes.
