Summary

Prohibits the District of Columbia from using ranked‑choice voting in any District election, including elections for federal offices and any ballot initiative or referendum. Adds that prohibition to the Help America Vote Act and gives the U.S. Attorney General explicit authority to seek court orders to enforce the ban under existing HAVA enforcement provisions.

• Creates a federal prohibition on ranked‑choice voting in all District of Columbia elections, including federal offices and ballot measures.
• Incorporates the new prohibition into the Help America Vote Act's statutory text and table of contents.
• Gives the U.S. Attorney General explicit authority to seek declaratory or injunctive relief to enforce the prohibition under HAVA.
• Does not appropriate funds, create programs, or specify an effective date.
• Directly limits the District of Columbia's authority to choose its voting method for local and federal contests.
• Is narrowly focused and short: a two‑section change to an existing federal elections law.
• Potentially subject to legal and political challenge because it preempts local election choices.
• Does not change tax law, federal budgeting rules, or appropriations.
