Hi Folks! Happy....um, almost February?!
The League of Women Voters in the NEK is holding its first 2019 meeting next weekend, on SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd, FROM 3:30-5:00 P.M. IN THE PARLOR AT THE UNITED COMMUNITY CHURCH NORTH IN ST. JOHNSBURY (the big grey stone church across from the Fairbanks Museum).

There will be a presentation on Rank Choice Voting aka Instant Runoff Voting. You may have heard about Rank Choice Voting, but are not exactly sure what it is. Come find out!

We are a NONPARTISAN, volunteer organization. WE ARE INCLUSIVE! -- despite the name, ALL GENDERS and ALL AGES ARE WELCOME! The "Women" in the League's name comes from the fact that it got its start in 1920 when it became clear that women would finally have the right to vote-- but that those millions of new voters would need to know how to register, how to inform themselves about the candidates and issues, and how to navigate the nuts-and-bolts of actually going to the polls to cast their votes. The League formed and began helping women to do these things, and has been helping people of all ages and genders to do them ever since, as well as protecting voters' rights, and studying and advocating for public policy. We do all of this just to help our democracy to work better! Please consider joining us.
