The Board of Elections Certification of ANC Vacancies Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the procedures for filling vacancies in Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) in the District of Columbia. Key provisions include requiring the Board of Elections to oversee the vacancy filling process, clarifying when a vacancy is deemed to occur, and specifying the term of a Commissioner filling a vacancy. The bill also prohibits circulators of candidate petition forms from altering signer information and mandates the Board to publish a list of candidates who qualify to fill a vacancy. Additionally, it allows an ANC to meet to fill a vacancy without needing a quorum.

The bill repeals the Supplementary Neighborhood Commissions Act and amends the District of Columbia Election Code to include oversight of ANC vacancies by the Board of Elections. Notably, it modifies existing language to ensure clarity in the vacancy determination process and establishes a timeline for public meetings and notifications related to filling vacancies. The amendments also include provisions for the Board to maintain a list of ANC members and to ensure that personal information is protected. Overall, the legislation seeks to streamline the vacancy filling process and enhance transparency and accountability within the ANC system.
