NYC Votes will hold its second annual #VoteBetterNY Advocacy Day for Election Reform in Albany on Wednesday, April 22nd. NYC Votes will lead a group of nearly 100 concerned citizens urging state legislators to modernize New York's voting system. This year's #VoteBetterNY agenda includes three key reform proposals:
- Online voter registration
- Better ballot design
- Early Voting
The Advocacy Day volunteers come from a number of partner organizations. They will be meeting with their local legislator when possible to share personal stories of the ill effects of New York's antiquated voting laws. Reporters wishing to interview any of the citizen advocates traveling to Albany should contact our press office at (212) 409-1773.
