…And By Greater Voter Participation

Another reason for our low voter turnout is difficulty in registering and in voting. Last year, with Democrats in control of the NYS Senate as well and the Assembly, we enacted early voting across NY to allow greater access to the polls, as well as combined primaries, to reflect the needs of modern workers and caregivers. Even greater turnout could result if NY enacts  automatic voter registration of 18 year olds, with an opt out provision. 

Voting should be made a “thing”, part of what we all do as New Yorkers. Engaging the public in our Democracy will sustain our freedoms and fight corruption.
