PART III, LINES 4 A,B,C,D - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS EDUCATION FUND WORKS TO ENCOURAGE THE ACTIVE AND INFORMED PARTICIPATION OF CITIZENS IN GOVERNMENT AND TO INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF MAJOR PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES. THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS EDUCATION FUND PLAYS A CRUCIAL COMPLEMENTARY ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE'S WORK TO EXPAND CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN OUR DEMOCRACY AND DEFEND VOTERS' RIGHTS. IN 2015 AND 2016, THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS EDUCATION FUND HELPED REGISTER TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW VOTERS, PROTECTED VOTERS' RIGHTS AT THE POLLS, AND PROVIDED CUSTOMIZED INFORMATION TO 4.5 MILLION VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY NOT ONLY ABOUT VOTING AND REGISTRATION RULES IN THEIR STATE AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES BUT ALSO ABOUT SPECIFIC RACES ON THEIR BALLOTS. REGISTERING, EDUCATING AND ENGAGING VOTERS: THE BEST WAY TO COUNTER VOTER SUPPRESSION LAWS AND THE CORRUPTING INFLUENCE OF MONEY ON DEMOCRACY IS BY EXPANDING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN OUR ELECTIONS. IN PREPARATION FOR THE 2016 GENERAL ELECTION, THE LEAGUE LAUNCHED ONE OF THE MOST AMBITIOUS VOTER REGISTRATION CAMPAIGNS IN OUR HISTORY. IN THE SPRING OF 2016, THE LEAGUE LAUNCHED A PROGRAM IN FOURTEEN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO REGISTER NEWLY NATURALIZED CITIZENS. AT THE SAME TIME, THE LEAGUE'S NATIONAL YOUTH VOTER REGISTRATION PROJECT REGISTERED NEARLY 15,000 HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS IN 25 COMMUNITIES. TO MITIGATE THE HARM FROM VOTER SUPPRESSION LAWS, THE LEAGUE ALSO LAUNCHED EXTENSIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN STATES LIKE NORTH CAROLINA, TEXAS AND WISCONSIN TO HELP VOTERS UNDERSTAND AND PREPARE FOR THE NEW REQUIREMENTS. THE LEAGUE'S INNOVATIVE VOTE411.ORG INITIATIVE WAS ESPECIALLY USEFUL IN HELPING VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY NAVIGATE CHANGING REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTERING AND VOTING. BEFORE THE PRIMARIES HAD EVEN ENDED, ROUGHLY THREE MILLION VOTERS HAD ACCESSED VOTE411.ORG FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR LOCAL ELECTIONS. PUTTING VOTERS AT THE CENTER OF CANDIDATE DEBATES: CANDIDATE DEBATES HAVE A LONG HISTORY IN AMERICAN POLITICS - AND SO DOES THE LEAGUE. WE MADE SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE STRUCTURED TO ENLIGHTEN VOTERS, NOT TO ADVANTAGE CANDIDATES OR PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON MODERATORS. IN ADVANCE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL AND VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES, WE ALSO SENT AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MODERATORS URGING THEM TO KEEP VOTERS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE DEBATES. MONEY IN POLITICS: THE LEAGUE STRONGLY SUPPORTS A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO BIG MONEY IN POLITICS THAT INCLUDES ENHANCED DISCLOSURE, ENDING SUPER PACS AND OTHER OUTSIDE SPENDING COORDINATED WITH CANDIDATES, RESTRUCTURING THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION (FEC) SO IT CAN BE AN EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, AND PUBLIC FINANCING FOR CONGRESSIONAL AS WELL AS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. THE LEAGUE HELD MORE THAN 300 EDUCATIONAL EVENTS IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE NEW SCHEMES AND STRUCTURES USED TO INFLUENCE ELECTIONS AND ERODE PROTECTIONS AGAINST CORRUPTION IN OUR POLITICAL PROCESS, AND TO REVIEW POSSIBLE RESPONSES TO COUNTER THEM IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT OF RAPID CHANGE.
