The statement that best explains the twenty-third amendment's changes to voting rights in the District of Columbia is "citizens residing in the district can elect a local government." The amendment, passed in 1961, granted residents of the District of Columbia the right to vote in presidential elections. However, it did not provide voting representation in the U.S. Congress, as that would require a constitutional amendment.
