D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 3-503
A qualified elector may apply to register to vote, or make subsequent updates to his or her voter registration information, with any of the following Board-approved forms. Any of the following registration forms may be submitted in-person at the Board's office or designated voter registration agency, by mail, or electronically:
The Board's official Voter Registration Application shall not be considered valid if altered in any way for use by another individual, governmental agency, or organization for the purpose of registering electors in the District of Columbia.
An applicant shall provide the following information on any voter registration application or voter registration update notification:
An applicant's signature captured digitally, or stored digitally at another voter registration agency, and transmitted to the Board shall be sufficient to constitute an original signature and effectuate registration and updates thereto.
If the applicant is unable to sign his or her name, the applicant may place his or her mark in the space provided for his or her signature and have that mark witnessed by the person assisting by having the witness also sign the voter registration application.
An applicant for voter registration who is unable to sign or to make a mark on a voter registration application due to a disability may apply with the assistance of another person as long as the individual's voter registration application is accompanied by a signed affidavit from the person assisting the applicant which states the following:
Any applicant who provides on a voter registration application a registration address to which mail cannot be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service shall additionally provide to the Board a designated mailing address to facilitate any official communications required by law.
An applicant for voter registration may include an alternate mailing address in their voter registration application or registration update notification. All official communications required by law shall be sent to the voter at the residence address unless the voter provides an alternate mailing address.
A residence address provided by the applicant shall be sufficiently precise to enable the Board to assign the voter to the appropriate Ward and Advisory Neighborhood Commission Single-Member District ("ANC SMD") for voting purposes.
If an applicant for voter registration fails to provide the information required for registration, the Executive Director or his or her designee shall make reasonable attempts to notify the applicant of the failure. A reasonable attempt to notify the applicant may include a phone call, letter, or email. The Executive Director or his or her designee shall choose the most efficient method of communication based upon the contact information provided by the applicant.
