Election of the President by Popular Vote

Election of the President by Popular Vote

direct election of president

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. To educate all members, a monthly Zoom presentation (here is the link) will be given throughout 2024. These are limited to League members, and the schedule is below. If you know of groups who would be interested in a talk, please contact suzanne2001 [at] gmail.com (Suzanne Fisher).
