PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT VIII
Charter Amendment: Local Budget Autonomy
Currently, the Home Rule Act requires affirmative Congressional action with respect to the entire District budget (both federal and local funds).
This Charter Amendment, if ratified, enacted and upheld, would permit the Council to adopt the annual local budget for the District of Columbia government; would permit the District to spend local funds in accordance with each Council approved budget act; and would permit the Council to establish the District’s fiscal year. |

Redistricting |
Every ten years, after completion of the U.S. Census, redistricting takes place and Election Ward and ANC/SMD boundaries are changed to match the population of each voting district. New Election Ward boundaries are now in effect as a result of redistricting. These new Ward boundaries will be used for all elections until after the completion of the next census in 2020. New ANC and SMD boundaries and maps are available.
If you are not sure of your current Precinct or Ward assignment, please confirm your voter registration here.
