华盛顿特区进行市长及其他职位初选，首次采用排序复选投票制
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington, D.C. voters went to the polls Tuesday in a primary selecting nominees for mayor, D.C. delegate, attorney general and multiple council seats. Polls were open at 75 locations until 8 p.m., and the city used ranked-choice voting citywide for the first time. Seven Democrats contested the open mayoral nomination after Mayor Muriel Bowser did not seek a fourth term. Washington election officials began tabulating ranked-choice ballots Tuesday night, with results expected to take longer than past primaries as rounds are counted. Candidates for the D.C. delegate seat, including Kinney Zalesne, Robert White and Trent Holbrook, and incumbent Attorney General Brian Schwalb faced challengers; final certified outcomes will determine November general election matchups.
