Electoral College Resolution

Adopted at the Biennial Convention of the League of Women Voters of the United States on July 1, 2018 in Chicago IL

Whereas
:  The League of Women Voters of the United States has had a position regarding the selection of the President and Vice-President of the United States since 1970 and this position supports a popular vote system and the abolition of the electoral college system, and
 
Whereas:  The 2018-2020 recommended LWVUS program focus is The Campaign for Making Democracy Work®, which includes a free, fair, and accessible electoral system for all eligible voters by focusing on Voting Rights, Improving Elections, Campaign Finance/Money in Politics, and Redistricting, and
 
Whereas:  The existing LWVUS position on The Selection of the President is directly related to these topics included in the Campaign for Making Democracy Work®, and
 
Whereas:  The method for the selection of the President has become an issue of much public discussion and concern in recent times and has generated interest among the public and among members of the League of Women Voters, and
 
Whereas:  The LWVUS reminds us that our adopted national position on the Selection of the President calls for uniform national voting qualifications and procedures at all necessary levels to achieve a consistent nationwide electoral policy and infrastructure and that the abolition of the Electoral College is essential to achieve this standard without delay.
 
Therefore May It Be Resolved That:  The 2018 Convention of the League of Women Voters of the United States urgently reaffirms its long-held position that the Electoral College should be abolished
