Electoral reform in Washington, D.C.

Electoral reform in Washington, D.C. refers to efforts to change the voting laws in the formerly square-shaped district that by Article One of the United States Constitution must not exceed a size of ten miles square (260.14 km²).

One of the most contentious electoral reform issues in this district is the proposed granting of District of Columbia vote in the United States House of Representatives.

Another question is whether DC will join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and assign its three electoral votes to the ticket winning the national popular vote.
