As part of D.C. s effort to broaden voter participation among incarcerated people, a unique election to fill an advisory neighborhood commission, or ANC, seat in Ward 7 will take place Tuesday.
Five inmates are running for an open seat that represents D.C. Jail and a new townhouse development, both located on Capitol Hill. Download our NBC Washington app for iOS or Android to get alerts for local breaking news and weather.
They are: Aaron Brown, Joel Caston, Keith Alonzo Littlepage Hill, Gary Proctor and Kim Thompson.
The effort started as a way to foster more neighborly relations among the residents of the jail and neighbors in the surrounding community.
