League plans discussion on multimember districts

The League of Women Voters of Mason County host a discussion on multimember electoral districts and how they work from noon to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Olympic College Shelton library meeting room at 937 Alpine Way, Shelton.

The group’s business meeting will be conducted from 11:30 a.m. to noon. Everyone is welcome.

Multimember districts elect multiple representatives — usually three, five or seven — instead of one. The group states that this approach is at the heart of redistricting reforms that lead to fairer, more inclusive representation.

A question-and-answer session will follow.
