The LWVNC Board approved the Election of the President by Popular Vote Action Team in December 2023. This is in support of the LWVUS Moonshot effort that has an ultimate goal of abolishing the Electoral College by Constitutional amendment, with enacting the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact as the first step. 
 
The team is seeking a representative from each local League/MAL unit.
