The Ranked Choice Voting Implementation Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the District of Columbia Election Code of 1955 by establishing ranked choice voting for elections starting with the first election held after January 1, 2027. Specifically, the bill modifies section 8a by deleting the phrase "June 2026 primary election" and replacing it with "first election held after January 1, 2027." This change is intended to provide clarity on the timeline for implementing ranked choice voting in the District.

The bill includes a fiscal impact statement, which has been adopted from the Budget Director, and outlines the financial implications of the proposed changes. It will take effect upon approval by the Mayor or, if vetoed, following a Council override, and is designed to remain in effect for no longer than 90 days as per the emergency act provisions of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
