You're invited! This is a crucial time for the campaign to move NYC elections to even-numbered years.

As we near the end of the legislative session, our coalition urges @NYSA_Majority @JGPretlow to support and pass two election administration bills pending in the Ways & Means Committee without delay: A1228 (Assemblymember Seawright) and A1993 (Assemblymember Colton).
These two bills will ensure we train & compensate our election workers who work tirelessly year round to deliver key services to New York voters. A1228 will require commissioners to complete a uniform training curriculum within 6 months of their appointment.

I was so proud to stand with @LetNYvote this afternoon to call for expanded voter accessibility, education, & integrity in our elections. Our democracy is strongest when every voice is heard. I look forward to addressing these issues + more in our committee & on the Senate floor.

Earlier today, the Senate Elections Committee reported key bills that would improve election administration in NY. We applaud the Committee for moving these bills, marking an important step for our state democracy to ensure every eligible voter receives quality voter service.

New York lawmakers should take up this 2025 @LetNYvote priority that will protect citizens and their communities from suppression caused by major voting disruptions as soon they return to Albany!

New York has passed nation-leading voter protections in recent years. But we have no rapid-response solution to interruptions at pollsites.
My bill with @AMEddieGibbs would extend hours at pollsites whenever voting's disrupted, ensuring access for all.

Fortunately, Elections Chairs @TheRealLatriceW and @SenatorMyrie have a bill called the Democracy During Detention Act to address this injustice.
Are your state reps co-sponsors? If not, ask them to sign on ASAP and help fix this.

Some officials like the bipartisan commissioners in Ulster have taken the lead, ensuring eligible detained citizens can vote, without waiting for Albany.
But this varies widely, and most counties reported to @LWVNYS they have no formal program.

NYSBOE: “Many County Boards of Elections will actually send bipartisan teams to the jails with voter registration and/or ballot request forms to assist in the process”
Good! But these voters need to be protected. Without a law, they’re vulnerable.
