From LWVUS and LWVC...

Five times in American history, the will of the people was overridden, as the presidential candidate with the most votes did not win the presidency. Five times, millions of votes were silenced. This is because our system prioritizes not the power of its people, but the power of the Electoral College.

The Electoral College is an outdated relic. Today, it's simply a threat to our democracy.

LWVC is joining LWVUS in the One Person One Vote campaign to demand that the people's voices be heard.

  • Educate, engage, and activate communities to support a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College. 
  • Inform voters on how the Electoral Count Reform Act (ERCA) will impact the 2024 elections.
  • Pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact by 2028.

Take Action

Act Now to Support John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

At the end of June, hundreds of League members from across the country gathered in Washington, DC, to meet with their members of Congress in support of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (JLVRAA). Passing the Act will repair the damage done to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) by the 2013 US Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder.

 We are still engaged in the fight against voter discrimination.

Support LWVUS actions virtually, contact Congress now.
