	JOIN ONLINE NATL COMMITTEE LOOKING AT ELECTORAL COLLEGE ALTERNATIVES Several leagues from across the nation have established a group to examine alternatives to the Electoral College and explore reforms that could strengthen our democracy. This committee is reviewing the history, structure, and impacts of the Electoral College and considering proposals such as the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and potential constitutional amendments. Participation in this committee gives members a front-row seat to national discussions on one of the most consequential questions in our democratic system: how we elect the President. The committee will share research, host conversations with experts and recommend actions Leagues across the country can take. We are looking for an LWVK member to serve on this committee. Having a Kent representative ensures our local League has a direct connection to the national conversation. By reporting back to LWVK, the representative can keep our members informed about what the committee is learning, highlight opportunities for local education and advocacy and help us determine what role we might play in shaping the future of presidential elections If you are interested in serving on this committee, it is totally online and takes less than an hour a month. Please contact Barb Wertzler at cricket5621 [at] aol.com if you are interested.
