he Campaign Finance Board today announced the release of its Voter Assistance Annual Report for 2010-2011. An amendment to the New York City Charter approved by the voters in November 2010 transferred the duties and responsibilities of the NYC Voter Assistance Commission (VAC) to the CFB. As mandated by the Charter, the Annual Report discusses voter engagement efforts in the city.
The full report can be found on the CFB website here.
This report provides information on the work of VAC during 2010, and the expanded voter engagement efforts the CFB will undertake going forward. It also provides analysis of voter turnout in recent years in New York City.
To kick off this new effort, the CFB announced its NYC Votes! campaign. During the coming months, the CFB will introduce an expanded and enhanced voter assistance and education effort under the NYC Votes! banner.
