Resignations from Board of Directors

Following the conclusion of the recent referendum campaign, several of our long-time directors have decided to step back from their positions on the board. We greatly appreciate their contributions to the electoral reform movement, thank them for their service and wish them all the best as they get re-acquainted with their families.
