Bill Proposed to Allow Voting Over the Internet

On Thursday, March 3, Councilmember Brooke Pinto joined the DC Democrats for their monthly general body meeting to discuss a bill she and Councilmember Trayon White have proposed to allow DC citizens to vote over the internet.

CM Pinto started by sharing a presentation outlining some of the challenges we face with voter turnout in DC and proposing voting over the internet as a potential solution, then she took questions from the members, many of which were quite probing.
