  We present a new local interstellar spectrum for cosmic ray electrons over an
energy range from 1 MeV to 70 GeV. Below (0.8 plus minus 0.2) GeV it has a
power law form, E^-(1.55 plus minus 0.05), with E kinetic energy, which is
consistent with previous studies. This is derived from comparing Voyager 1
electron data observed during 2010 with a comprehensive modulation model.
However, reproducing the PAMELA electron spectrum observed at Earth during late
2006 and to address an unexpected increase in the electron spectrum between
about 2 GeV and up to about 20 GeV, a spectral index of -(3.3 plus minus 0.1)
instead of the reported -(3.18 plus minus 0.05) was found for this energy
range. This feature cannot be caused by solar modulation or any other process
inside the heliosphere.
