Special Election in the Office of Delegate Amendment Act of 2025

This bill amends the District of Columbia Election Code to require a special election for the DC Delegate position within 49 days if the House Speaker declares "extraordinary circumstances" (more than 100 vacancies in the House of Representatives). It specifically applies when a vacancy occurs in the Delegate's office during such federal crisis, overriding the District's standard election timeline (which typically allows 70-174 days). The change aligns DC's process with federal law (2 U.S.C. § 8(b)), mandating the Board of Elections to follow the 49-day federal deadline instead of local rules. This affects only DC's Delegate office during rare, large-scale House vacancies, not routine vacancies.
