Click here to download the common-sense report that Committee of Seventy sent to city commissioners about how to better local elections. They get into the specifics, but the takeaway is basically this:

• Bring the Elections Website into the 21st Century

• Clamp Down on Electioneering

• Take Charge of Finding Polling Place Officials

• Mandate Training of Polling Place Officials

• Invite Public Feedback — And Take it Seriously

Interestingly, according to vice prez and policy director Ellen Mattleman Kaplan, the Committee sent it off last Friday and hasn't heard a thing from the commissioners yet.
