October 16, 2025: Making Your Vote Count: Reforms that could make a difference

New York’s voter turnout is ranked 46th among 50 states. Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass and Henrietta’s Antoinette Brown Blackwell would be ashamed! There are several proposed changes to how we vote that might increase turnout, and we’ll discuss three of them: ranked choice voting, nonpartisan primaries, and the national popular vote.

Presenter Barbara Grosh has a PhD in Economics from the University of California at Berkeley. She taught in the department of Public Administration at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. Currently, she is the President of the League of Women Voters of the Rochester Metropolitan Area.

This program is being presented in partnership with the Henrietta Public Library.
