December 6: LWVCT  Fall Conference, Old Judiciary Room, State Capitol, 9am to noon

The Fall Conference:  “Does My vote Get Counted?” is coming up fast! The LWVCT has set up an interesting session:  we will have a great chance to talk with the Deputy Secretary of the State Lesley Mara about how the recent election worked from our viewpoint--working at the polls or helping beforehand. Do you have questions? Suggestions? Observations? If so, we'll also have Senator Gayle Slossberg from the GAE Committee, and Luther Weeks from CT Voters Count. The conference will also offer a chance to hear from Carol Mellor, one of the national study group members about the National Popular Vote compact among several states. Connecticut may be considering this proposal in the next legislative session.  The Flyer with registration form is available here
