Join the League of Women Voters of Fairfield for Did You Know: Voting Rights and Wrongs - in Connecticut, the first in our new free, multi-part series on voting rights in Connecticut, across the states, and at the National level.

The program features Patricia Rossi, Advocacy and Public Affairs Vice President of the League of Women Voters of Connecticut and Jonathan Perloe of Voter Choice Connecticut. The focus will be on how the independent, nonpartisan counting of votes and certification of election results works in Connecticut and a review of Connecticut legislation introduced over the last several years affecting the voting process – positively and negatively.

CPTV will be recording this in-person program to be broadcast soon after on CPTV Cutline. Having a big audience will be great.
