<div>Washington DC is divided into districts called Advisory Neighborhood Commissions, or ANCs. These are made up of 2 to 12 commissioners who make decisions about a broad range of issues in your community. They advise the DC government about issues that affect their community - including parking, recreation, street improvements, liquor licenses, zoning, restaurants, the police, sanitation, and the District's annual budget. This is a resident's most local form of government. Single Member District commissioners on an ANC represents a division of Washington DC called a Single Member Districts, or SMD. Commissioners each represent about 2,000 DC residents who live in the SMD. DC residents elect their ANC &amp; SMD commissioner every two years in non-partisan elections.
