In 2010, the voters of the District of Columbia passed a charter amendment that said, as described on the ballot, that if the measure passed, the first such election for Attorney General of D.C. would be held in 2014. Recently, the city council passed a law delaying the election until a future year. But a candidate who wants to run for that office in 2014 has sued the D.C. city government to force it to hold the election.

The actual charter amendment doesn’t say that the election must be held in 2014. It just says it will be held sometime after January 1, 2014. But the measure as described on the ballot said the first such election would be in 2014. See this story.
