What can the League of Women Voters—and you—do to improve our elections? The LWV of SCC is sponsoring two webinars on “State of the Nation: Threats to Our Election Systems/Security and How We Can Better Engage Voters.”
On October 8, 2022, keynote speaker Kim Alexander, President of the California Voter Foundation (CVF), will explore what some major election problems are and offer possible solutions. In response to growing threats and harassment of election officials, Kim and the California Voter Foundation (CVF) are leading a nationwide, nonpartisan network of leaders across multiple sectors working to support and protect election officials and election administration. Current priorities include improving election workers’ safety and security, curtailing election mis- and disinformation, increasing funding and support for election administration.
One of the promising approaches to improving elections and engaging more voters, Ranked Choice Voting, will be explored more in-depth at a second event on 29th. The five League of Women Voters of Santa Clara County support using Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) for all County offices—Board of Supervisors, District Attorney, Sheriff, and Assessor—and wrote this August 10, 2022, letter to the County Board of Supervisors recommending its use.
