The League of Women Voters and Historic Ballot Measures in St. Lawrence County Presentation

Join Kathy Stein from the local chapter of the League of Women Voters for a brown bag presentation on the history of voters’ rights in New York State. There is an important equal rights measure on the NY ballot this fall, Proposal 1, which would amend the NYS constitution to provide more legal protections for historically underrepresented populations. Kathy Stein will provide background on other historic ballot measures and the importance of local voting rights amendments. After the presentation, time will be set aside for discussion and Q&A.
