March Monthly Meeting NEW DATE
Request from State League re: Early Voting Advocacy
Dear Local League Members,
You have an opportunity to become involved in voter education to advocate for continuing the process we’ve begun to modernize voting in Connecticut. Many other states have successfully used early voting or expanded absentee ballots. In the upcoming November 2014 election, there will be a ballot question regarding amending of the State Constitution to enable the Connecticut General Assembly to consider expanded use of absentee ballots (aka “no excuse” absentee ballots) and other early voting methods.
Would you or someone you know in your League be interested in serving on a short-term (estimated timeframe March through August) committee to help us develop materials and strategy for educating the public and encouraging them to vote yes? Committee work would entail doing research, writing, editing, proofreading and eventually local League and community outreach.
Anyone who is interested is serving, please contact us at advocacy@lwvct.org.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Dunson and Judy Dolphin
Co-Presidents
