Join us for a fun and information-packed afternoon with Mona Field, Co-President of the Los Angeles League of Women Voters, who will cover:
THE MARCH 3RD PRIMARY
This election is not just about U.S. President, as consequential as that is.
- BRING YOUR SAMPLE BALLOTS. Find out about important state, county and local measures as well as candidates seeking office for Congress, State Senate, judgeships and more.
- ELECTION "JUNK MAIL." Discover how to tell who is behind those campaign ads and why. The answers may surprise you.
- DEBUT OF NEW VOTING SYSTEM IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. Hear about the County's new $100 million voting system with hack-protected machines, 11 days to vote and choice of voting locations.
THE 2020 CENSUS
You will learn the purpose of the Census as well as:
- Why it’s hard to get an accurate count in Los Angeles County.
- How an undercount could affect highways, schools, housing, and essential social services for children, the elderly and disabled.
- How the Census results could change the number of Congressional seats in California.
- How the Census could affect the Electoral College and future Presidential elections.
Ms. Field is a notable expert in the area of state and local politics. In addition to her role with the League, she is professor emeritus, political science at Glendale Community College and author of "California Government and Politics Today (15th Edition)."
