The Abington-Cheltenham-Jenkintown Area

The history of voting rights is largely one of bipartisan cooperation. We'd like to see the introduction of bipartisan legislation that includes expanding early voting, allowing no-excuse absentee voting, implementing automatic and online voter registration, improving operations of the Election Assistance Commission, improving language access, and ensuring proper voter list maintenance.

Tell Democrats and Republicans to work together on voting rights.

More than 100 years after some women gained the right to vote, people in the United States are still not constitutionally guaranteed equality on the basis of sex. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) will update the US Constitution to protect the equality of rights under the law regardless of sex.

Tell your representatives they must ensure that the ERA is published.

The LWVPA is calling on citizens to tell their state representatives to reject the package of consitutional amendments adopted by the state Senate. The House must pass the package by Jan. 27 to get the amendments on the May 21 Primary Election Ballot.

The people of Washington, DC deserve the same rights as any American living in our 50 states. They deserve full representation in Congress and to be free of Congressional interference in their local governance. Urge your Senators to support the full rights of DC residents!
