SUMMARY:LWV of PWM Concurrence Meeting
DESCRIPTION: \nAll members are encouraged to participate:\nRegistration\nWhat is concurrence and why participate?\nConcurrence is a process through which Leagues can adopt a new position without doing their own study because another (trusted) League has done the study.\nIn this case, NYS has studied the issue and is asking all local Leagues whether either (or both) of these new positions should be adopted.\nOn the basis of all responses from Leagues across NYS, including how many members in each League participated, the state League will adopt these new positions, or not.  For either position to be adopted as a NYS position, the responses must meet the state League guidelines for participation and win 2/3 approval.\nWhat is the Concurrence on Prisoner Voting about?\nHere is the proposed position (it’s one sentence):\nThe League of Women Voters of New York State supports extending the right to vote to all currently incarcerated individuals. \nHere is the question our League will discuss to reach consensus (agree/disagree):\nDo you have member agreement on the Proposed Position to extend the right to vote to all currently incarcerated individuals?\nRead the Position & Study materials\nWhat is the Concurrence on Election Administration about?\nThe League of Women Voters of New York State believes that a more accountable, transparent, and professional state election administration would improve voter access and confidence in our elections. We believe that achieving these goals will require changes to the state constitution.\nThis concurrence meeting will ask you to consider three questions on how to improve the administration of NYS elections.  Each question is to be considered separately and we can concur with one, two, or all three — or none.\n\n\n\n\n\nDo you concur with the Position Statement on State Election Administration? \nDo you concur with the Position Statement on Local Election Administration?\nDo you concur with the Position Statement on Local and State Boards?\n\n\n\n\n\nIf approved by members, the Position Statements will be used by the Board to finalize new state League Positions on election administration.  The wording of the final Positions will not differ substantively from the wording of the Position Statements, but flexibility in wording will allow for us to make necessary editorial changes for clarity.  Each Position Statement consists of two or more bullet points.  For concurrence with a Position Statement, you must approve  all the bullet points  within that Position Statement.\nRead the Position Statements and Study materials\nRead the LWV of NYS presentation\nRequest from NYS League:\nWe are urging all local Leagues to have member meetings to discuss both sets of materials and the state League will give greater weight to member input as part of a local League response.\nFor members who cannot attend their local League discussions, or who are members of a local League not participating in the study, the state League will organize virtual discussions and Q&A sessions. Individuals may complete an individual response form if they participate in these sessions.\nRegister ( https://us02web.zoom.us/s/85719391910?pwd=QkNadEFSNGtKVlNCRjBLWWZyT1NtUT09#success ) for the concurrence meeting that will include.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrief education/Q&A on prisoner voting position\nConsensus discussion on prisoner voting\n\n\nBrief education/Q&A on election administration\nConsensus discussion on election administration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n
