Mail-in ballot requests surge for DC June elections

With the coronavirus public health emergencies in place, it may be easy for D.C. residents to forget there are two elections coming up next month.

The primary election is June 2, and a special election for Ward 2 is on June 16. Ward 2 is holding a special election council member Jack Evans.

The District has been urging voters to cast their vote by mail (absentee ballot).

Applications for mail-in voting can obtained by calling 202-741-5283, faxing (202-347-2648), or the form and emailing it to DCabsentee@dcboe.org.

A board of elections spokesperson that there has been a “heavy influx” of applications for absentee ballots in March, and the board has received 34,000 requests as of this week.
