Members are welcome to observe Board Meetings. If you have business you wish the Board to discuss, please contact the relevant Board member, for example, a proposed letter to a City Council should go to the Action Director at action@lwvbae.org and, when possible, to the Action Team meeting for discussion and approval before going to the Board. If you have a request that requires quick action, please notify the president at president@lwvbae.org and copy the relevant Director.
Board Agendas will be published, when possible, before the relevant meeting. Minutes are only approved at the subsequent Board meeting, so they will be added when they have been approved by the Board.

LWVBAE’s election methods study on multi-seat plurality was given the go ahead by the Board. This study on multi-seat plurality moved forward with this statement of scope:
The study will consider multi-seat ranked choice, a non partisan proportional method, and compare it to the multi-seat plurality at large and single-seat ranked choice by district methods currently used in Berkeley, Albany, and Emeryville. The study will judge these election methods by criteria supported by League positions and principles.
