Grab a drink and come hear about the latest democracy news, ongoing efforts to fix democracy, and actions you can take at our weekly Democracy Happy Hour, Wednesdays @ 5 pm PT/8 pm ET. This is an online virtual event via Zoom.

Today's topic for April 23, 2025:
Election Methods Used for Proportional Representation
with Chris Mason   
 

In a follow up to our program last month on Proportional Representation and Multi-Member Districts, Chris Mason will discuss some of the election methods used to achieve proportional representation.

Chris is a member of the Mason County League of Women Voters of WA who retired after riding through the dot-com bubble. He has been volunteering with a focus on electoral reform since 2016 when he really started studying the Electoral College, Gerrymandering and learned about Proportional Representation. He was the technology lead on the team that created FairVote Washington.
