It happens every 10 years . . . and it’s happening now. But just what is redistricting and why should you care? What does Connecticut’s 2020 Census have to do with it? What does “one person, one vote” even mean if legislators choose their voters, instead of voters choosing their legislators?
Join us for this exciting first event in the 2021-2022 Fairfield League of Women Voters five-part series, SPOTLIGHT ON REDISTRICTING and YOUR Vote. Watch for the second event with Fairfield University.
This free pubic event is led by the League of Women Voters of Fairfield and co-sponsored with the Fairfield Museum and History Center (FMHC), 370 Beach Road, Fairfield, CT. Please support The League and FMHC.
