23rd Amendment gives votes to citizens of District of Columbia. Despite the small size, there are plenty of people living in that area, but come election time they were disenfranchised because they could not vote. 23rd Amendment partially fixes this problem by giving them 2 electoral votes. However, this still presents a problem because they still can't choose a representative.
If you're living outside of District of Columbia, this Amendment may not have a big impact in your life. But for those living in DC, they can finally participate in the formal process, even if they are not directly represented by a representative.
This Amendment also raises issues of whether or not we should make DC into a state, which would give them more representation in the government.
