Three big League of Women Voters of California legislative victories! Now encourage Gov. Newsom to sign these bills. 
Each of these LWVC-co-sponsored has passed both houses of the legislature and will be sent to Gov. Newsom for his signature!
  • SB 139, the People's Maps Act, will create independent redistricting commissions in large counties.   
  • AB 849, the Fair Maps Act, will require common-sense redistricting criteria for local governments.
  • SB 72 will implement Election Day Registration in every polling location in the state.            
Thank you to the LWVC members who sent thousands of messages to our legislators in support! ACT now and tell Gov. Newsom to say YES to redistricting by and for the people, inclusive voting laws, and a stronger and more representative democracy.
