January is the month we focus on National Program Planning for the coming biennium. Our member meeting will be on January 16th in the Town Hall Civil Defense Room. League program is the education and advocacy platform that we adopt to move our mission forward.

LWVUS Recommended Program: The Campaign for Making Democracy Work®

The LWVUS Board recommends that Program 2020-2022 continue the campaign for Making Democracy Work® with Leagues working on

• Redistricting
• Voting Rights
• Improving Elections
• Campaign Finance/Money in Politics

Advocated also is a Proposed Concurrence on Electoral Systems 

Position in Brief: Support electoral systems at each level of government that encourage participation, are verifiable and auditable and enhance representation for all voters. (See full position on next page) Voter Representation/ Electoral System Concurrence Position Why? The League of Women Voters currently does not have a position on how we elect our representatives. The purpose of having this position is to provide a clear, but flexible base of principles, for evaluating electoral systems that empower voters.
