Washington DC
People who have resided in Washington DC for longer than 12 months
were enfranchised - given the right to vote - only in 1961 with the
passing of the 23rd amendment to the Constitution of the United
States. The Amendment was proposed in Congress on June 16, 1960 and
ratified on March 29, 1961. It reads:
Amendment XXIII
Section 1. The District constituting the seat of government of the
United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the
whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the
District would be entitled if it were a state, but in no event more
than the least populous state; they shall be in addition to those
appointed by the states, but they shall be considered, for the
purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be
electors appointed by a state; and they shall meet in the District and
perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
