Last week, we held a press conference on the steps of the Wilson Building, urging the Council to hold a hearing on the Mobile VOTE Act. #MobileVotinginDC
In 2018, only 18% of DC voters cast their ballot in the primaries. We must do better. Mobile voting will help dramatically increase primary turnout!
