Majority Rules is a groundbreaking documentary that poses the question “What if changing the way we vote could change everything?”
In 2022, 120 candidates in statewide and congressional primaries won their election with less than 50% of the vote and dozens won with over 2/3 of voters voting for someone else.
Join us and learn about a voting reform, called Ranked Choice Voting, has already been adopted by over 60 jurisdictions with bipartisan support (Cambridge and Easthampton in Massachusetts), in 24 states – for local elections and in Maine & Alaska for statewide elections.
Join the League of Women Voters of the Plymouth Area in viewing this new documentary – MAJORITY RULES- to learn how changing the way we vote could change everything. A discussion of the concept will be held after the movie for those interested and a mock election will be held where you can vote the ranked choice voting way yourself in an important election: best cookie!
Focus on Sustainability
The League of Women Voters of the Plymouth Area has been a staunch supporter of the environment since its inception 65 years ago and continues to work with groups across Plymouth to raise awareness and support changes in the Town’s planning efforts to ensure sustainability. Watch an episode of This Week in Plymouth from the Local Seen of Town Manager Derek Brindisi interviewing Mike Cahill, Plymouth’s Climate Resiliency Coordinator and Dan Mullen, member of the Plymouth’s Climate Action Net Zero Advisory Committee to get an excellent overview of the work in progress.
