What was on the ballot in District of Columbia

Their records and the three tests
- Black voters can decide it (not met). Black citizens are more than four in ten District residents old enough to vote. The last race for this office was not close enough for that share to decide it.
- Broad power. The mayor runs the District government, proposes its budget and signs or vetoes the laws the Council passes.
- History (not met). An open seat: Mayor Muriel Bowser is not running again.

Their records and the three tests
- Black voters can decide it (not met). Black citizens are 42.7 percent of District of Columbia citizens old enough to vote. In the 2022 race for attorney general only one candidate was on the ballot, so there is no margin to compare.
- Broad power. The attorney general is the District's chief lawyer: the office defends District laws in court, protects consumers and tenants, and prosecutes some crimes.
- History (not met). No first or runoff history recorded for this office in this cycle.

Forecasts are estimates, not counts
SourceLine does not forecast races. These outlets publish forecasts, each with its own method and date. Read them as estimates, side by side, never as results.
When it becomes final
The state certifies its results on the schedule in state law; the date is not on SourceLine yet. Until then every number here is a SourceLine Count, labelled Where It Stands and not yet certified. Once certified, races read On the Record.
