DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR FROM JULY 2018 THROUGH JUNE 2019, LWVUS INCREASED MORE ENGAGERS TO TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT LWVUS' MISSION AND PRIORITIES. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, LWVUS CONTINUED WORK TO EXPAND VOTING RIGHTS AND FIGHT VOTER SUPPRESSION THROUGH ADVOCACY AND LITIGATION. ON ELECTION DAY 2018, LWVUS STAFF PARTICIPATED IN ELECTION PROTECTION WORK THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ELECTION PROTECTION COALITION. LWVUS SUPPORTED A VARIETY OF DEMOCRACY REFORMS TO ENFRANCHISE VOTERS. LWVUS SUPPORTED BALLOT MEASURES AND ISSUE AREAS BY EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT BALLOT INITIATIVES AT PUBLIC FORUMS, FESTIVALS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS AS WELL AS COLLECTED SIGNATURES AS PART OF MULTI-PARTNER EFFORT TO PASS THESE MEASURES ON BEHALF OF VOTERS IN THESE STATES. FOLLOWING THE 2018 ELECTION, LWVUS SUPPORTED THE BILL H.R.1, THE FOR THE PEOPLE ACT, A DEMOCRACY REFORM AGENDA BILL. LWVUS PUSHED TO MAKE SURE THE LEGISLATION INCLUDED SAME DAY VOTER REGISTRATION, TO EXPAND VOTING ACCESS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE LEGISLATION PASSED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. IN 2019, LWVUS COORDINATED A RALLY FOR FAIR MAPS ON THE STEPS OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, BRINGING HUNDREDS OF ACTIVISTS TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AND GENERATING NATIONAL ATTENTION. ULTIMATELY THE COURT RULED IN JUNE 2019 THAT NO FAIR TEST EXISTS FOR COURTS TO DETERMINE WHEN PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING HAS GONE TOO FAR. LWVUS ALSO FILED AMICUS BRIEFS IN A NUMBER OF DEMOCRACY CASES DECIDED BY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DURING THE SPRING 2019 TERM. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME PERIOD, LWVUS ADVOCATED TO REMOVE THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED CITIZENSHIP QUESTION FROM THE 2020 U.S. CENSUS, AS AN UNNECESSARY AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL QUESTION THAT EXPERTS ATTEST WOULD DECREASE PARTICIPATION AND RESULT IN A HIGHLY INACCURATE CENSUS COUNT. THE LEAGUE HAS ALSO BEEN WORKING OUTSIDE OF COURTS WITH SECRETARIES OF STATE TO ASSESS AND LIMIT ILLEGAL VOTER PURGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 THE LEAGUE HAS VOTING MEMBERS AND ASSOCIATE MEMBERS. VOTING MEMBERS ARE WOMEN AND MEN AT LEAST 16 YEARS OF AGE.
