CHICO — The next League of Women Voters of Butte County isn’t about elections, but is something just as important — the 2020 Census.

A panel will talk about the April rollout of the census counts, at 6 p.m. Feb. 13 at the Chico Masonic Family Center, 1110 W. East Ave.

The annual potluck and program celebrating the national league’s 100th anniversary will start at 5:30 p.m. The league is a nonpartisan, political organization that encourages informed and active citizen participation.

“Counting Everyone in 2020” panelists include Mahalley Allen, chair of the Chico State political science department; Butte County Supervisor Debra Lucero; and Megan Smith, chair of the Butte County Complete Count Committee.

Also present as moderators will be Katie Salcido and Jacki Walker, partnership specialists for the U.S. Census Bureau.

As a consequence of the displacement and re-registration of several thousand voters from the Paradise ridge after the Camp Fire, the 2020 census will be vital in shedding light on the demographics and population shifts that have occurred in Butte County, according to the league.

There is no cost for the program, and information is available on the league’s website www.lwvbuttecounty.org or email lwvbutte@gmail.com.
