Recounts
Automatic recount: The Board recounts at no cost to candidates when certified results show a margin under 1% of the total votes for Delegate, Mayor, Council, Attorney General or State Board of Education. The threshold is measured of all votes cast for the office. D.C. Code § 1-1001.11, Recount; judicial review
Requested recount: Any candidate may petition within 7 days after certification for a recount of chosen precincts ($50 per precinct, waived for narrow margins). D.C. Code § 1-1001.11, Recount; judicial review
Not confirmed here: county certification. A missing item means it was not verified, not that no rule exists.
Compiled Nov 5, 2026 from state election offices, calendars and statutes, read through search excerpts of those official pages rather than page by page; each item links its source. Deadlines can move by court order or holiday rules; the state election office is the final word.

Outside groups in District of Columbia.
Summed from each candidate's five largest spenders on each side, so these totals are a floor.
FEC bulk data read November 4, 2026. Campaign totals come from each filing's own FEC summary through its latest processed report. Outside spending is independent expenditures itemized in committee reports in the FEC bulk files, primaries included; late 24- and 48-hour reports, party coordinated spending, communication costs and groups that do not report to the FEC are not included. Outside spending is, by law, made without coordinating with the candidate, and it is not the candidate's money. A contribution or expenditure is not evidence of a vote, favor or wrongdoing.
