November 5, 2002, General Election

See the final general election vote count.

In the general election, all voters will vote for the District of Columbia Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives; the Mayor, the Chairman of the City Council, two at-large members of the City Council; Ward members of the City Council for Wards 1, 3, 5, and 6; the President of the Board of Education; district members of the Board of Education for District Three (Wards 5 and 6) and District Four (Wards 7 and 8); United States Senator and United States Representative (Shadow Senator and Shadow Representative); and Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners. 

Advisory Referendum A, passed by the City Council on July 2, 2002, would authorize the City Council to amend the Home Rule Charter to establish an Office of the District Attorney for the District of Columbia. 

Initiative Measure No. 62, “Treatment Instead of Jail for Certain Non-Violent Drug Offenders Initiative of 2002,” will be on the ballot in the general election on November 5, 2002. The Initiative passed by 78 percent of the vote, but was then challenged by Mayor Williams as being an inappropriate subject for an initiative measure.
