D.C. Democratic primary day includes competitive D.C. Council race

State of play: High turnout is not expected for this Democratic primary.

• Incumbents historically do well in D.C. Council members Brooke Pinto (Ward 2), Janeese Lewis George (Ward 4), Trayon White (Ward 8), and Robert White (at-large) are running for re-election.

Voting has been underway via mail-in and drop-off ballots since May.

• Polls today are open from 7am to 8pm. Same-day registration is available.
• You can find a polling location or drop-box location on the D.C. Board of Elections website.

Catch up fast: There's a crowded contest in Ward 7, home to working- and middle-class communities stretching from RFK across the Anacostia River to the border with Prince George's County.

• Four frontrunners: Wendell Felder, Ebony Payne, Eboni-Rose Thompson, and Veda Rasheed. You can check out the full coverage of that race here.
• Well-funded outside groups are supporting their favored candidates, creating a deluge of mailers and campaigning in the final days.

Between the lines: Since this is an overwhelmingly blue city, the winner of the Democratic primary is highly likely to win their seat in the November general election.
