Who We Are

The MDW committee focuses on voting and elections primarily in Montgomery County since we are a local League. In 2022, we will prepare the Voters’ Guide in both English and Spanish for the June 28 Primary Election and November 8 General Election. The General Election Voters’ Guide will also include information on the ballot questions. We study reforms of the election process that are designed to make the process fairer and more equitable for all voters. We advocate for issues such as redistricting reform in Maryland, ranked choice voting for Montgomery County offices, and voting by mail. We strive to focus our efforts on activities that promote racial equity, social justice, and inclusion of marginalized communities. 

What We Do

• Educate and Engage Voters about Elections – We register voters; prepare publications to explain the voting process; produce and distribute the Voters’ Guide to inform voters of candidates’ positions on issues in their own words; collaborate with community groups; conduct or assist with candidate forums.
• Protect Voting Rights – We learn about the election process; monitor election related activities at the local, state and national levels; and advocate for improvements to the election process based on our public policy positions.
• Keep Ourselves and Others Informed – We have studied various aspects of the election process, redistricting reform, ranked choice voting, open primaries, money in politics, ballot questions, and vote by mail,and use our findings in our work. We keep apprised of election procedures by closely following the  Montgomery County and Maryland State Board of Elections.    
• We meet monthly on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm on an ad hoc schedule. See our Google calendar.
