Meeting hosts: Fair Representation in Redistricting (FRR)
Date/Time: Tuesday, June 27, 2023, 12:00 - 1:30pm ET
In this session, we’ll explore how to evaluate alternative voting systems from a racial equity perspective. What is proportional representation? Can alternatives to winner-take-all elections or single-member districts help achieve greater fairness and racial equity, both in electoral outcomes and redistricting? We’ll hear directly from leaders of a coalition representing communities of color who successfully reformed the electoral system in Portland, Oregon last year and feature a discussion with experts on analyzing alternative voting policy proposals. For security purposes, registration is required to attend and will be subject to review by the organizers prior to confirmation.
