Tomorrow at 10:45 AM, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams and members of the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB) will rally state lawmakers as well as a coalition of good government groups and community-based organizations in urging support for the Vote Better NY campaign, a series of critical reforms to modernize New York’s outdated elections. They will make this call as the nation’s political focus has zeroed in on Brooklyn, with the borough hosting a major presidential debate next week in addition to the greater state holding a primary election — with potentially historic consequences — just five days later.
Borough President Adams and members of CFB, who will also be joined by State Senator Jesse Hamilton, Assembly Members Steve Cymbrowitz, Jo Anne Simon, and Latrice Walker, as well as representatives from Generation Citizen and New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), will call for the New York State Legislature to pass pro-voter measures such as better ballot design, early voting, and an upgraded voter registration system.
