Initiative 83 was a voter-approved ballot initiative in Washington, D.C., that would permit ranked-choice voting and open the primary elections to independent voters. It allows voters registered as “unaffiliated” to participate in primaries, which were closed to these voters prior to the passage of the initiative.[1] As of October 2024, D.C. had more than 80,000 unaffiliated voters.[2] The initiative was passed with 73% of the vote.
