What does the Twenty-Third Amendment provide for residents of Washington D.C.?

The Twenty-Third Amendment to the United States Constitution grants residents of Washington D.C. the right to participate in presidential elections by allocating them electoral votes. Before this amendment was ratified in 1961, residents of Washington D.C. were not able to vote in presidential elections, as the District of Columbia is not a state and thus did not receive any electoral votes. The amendment specifies that D.C. shall appoint electors in the same manner as states, giving it a number of electoral votes equivalent to the least populous state, which is currently three. This development was significant because it recognized D.C. residents' democratic rights in national elections, facilitating their ability to influence the selection of the President.

The other choices do not align with the provisions of the Twenty-Third Amendment; residents of Washington D.C. still do not have representation in the Senate, do not vote for members of Congress in the same way states do, and the amendment does not provide for eligibility for statehood.
