Press Mention

The League of Women Voters of Bucks County has announced the winners of their first student video contest. The first prize of $500 was awarded to Amy Liu, a senior at Central Bucks High School South.

“Speaking with one voice” is an important tenet of the League. The national League provides strategies and action policies to ensure a consistent message on national issues, and similarly state Leagues are responsible for a coherent state message.  Neighboring local Leagues often collaborate to ensure regional issues are addressed uniformly.

Early Voting and No Excuse Absentee Voting Banner
Press Mention

It’s time to set the record straight: Voting in Connecticut is overwhelmingly safe and secure; it is administered by election professionals from both major parties. Connecticut voters turned out in record numbers for the November 2020 election, in part thanks to an executive order issued by the governor and affirmed by the legislature permitting any voter to vote by absentee ballot. But because of our state’s restrictive absentee ballot laws, this was only allowed under these special circumstances.
