THE PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS COALITION is a network of more than 70 organizations and issues experts working to protect and expand Pennsylvanians’ voting rights, to make the voting process more voter-friendly, and to enhance the integrity of our election systems.

SYMPOSIUM GOAL:  Elections improvement advocates and experts from across Pennsylvania will assemble to discuss observations and experiences from recent elections and prepare for the upcoming 2010 election cycle.  The strengths and weaknesses of our current system, as well as threats to the system and opportunities for change will be examined.  The end goal is to identify potential improvements to Pennsylvania’s electoral process that will further strengthen accessibility and accuracy for all voters. 

 

At this symposium participants will:
§ Establish stronger relationships with fellow voters’ rights advocates and public officials;
§ Share and enhance  knowledge on key issues;
§ Build a more effective information and response network with kindred advocates; and
§ Construct an action agenda for 2010.
