The District of Columbia Board of Elections has certified for November’s ballot Initiative 83, which would establish ranked choice voting in Washington, D.C., and allow independents to vote in primary elections.

The Board of Elections on Friday cleared the way for the initiative to appear on the Nov. 5 general election ballot after the Yes on 83 campaign collected over 40,000 signatures and submitted them to the board last month. Nearly 28,000 of the signatures were validated by the Board of Elections, exceeding the required threshold by 5,235.
