Ward 6 Voting Precinct and Local Polling Location Approved

May 7, 2008

This morning at the Board of Elections and Ethics board meeting, the DNA had the opportunity to address the board to make our case for a new precinct and a local polling location. The combination of Councilmember Tommy Wells’s efforts, Commissioner Doctor's efforts, DNA letters, individual and condo board letters, and those who joined the DNA last month helped make this happen. The DNA committed to working with BOEE to staff the new polling location.

Our new precinct is Number 143 and our polling location is at the Chinese Community Church at 500 I Street, NW. If you are a registered voter, you will be getting notice of this from the Board of Elections and Ethics. If not, please register at www.dcboee.org. 

If you are interested in volunteering to be a poll volunteer or help increase voter registration in your building, please contact me ASAP. Our new precinct has 2,285 registered voters and we need more.

Here is a map of the proposed boundaries:
