Did you know that Washington, DC has the highest percentage of registered voters, and yet less than 26% of voters cast their ballots in the 2024 primary? This initiative, organized by DC Women in Politics (DCWIP), brings together residents, community organizations, and local leaders across Washington, D.C. to increase voter participation. Even in its early stages, it has already gained momentum, with over a dozen Ballot Buddies and multiple partner organizations committed.
Thousands of residents are expected to vote from home—proving that neighbor-to-neighbor support and clear guidance can significantly boost participation. Every ballot submitted sends a powerful message: D.C. residents are engaged, committed to democratic participation, and determined to have a meaningful voice in local decisions.
