New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed several pieces of legislation into law Tuesday aimed to improve voter protections and accessibility, her office announced.
The bills the governor signed will:
Allow pre-registered voters, individuals who will be 18 years old by Election Day, to apply for an absentee or early mail voting ballot Ensure New Yorkers are able to cure ballot defects within the required timeframes Create a standard ordering criteria for candidates appearing on a ballot Bring state election law into compliance with the requirements set under the federal Electoral Count Reform Act Expand poll watcher eligibility to include most New York state attorneys Make technical changes related to town elections Clarify administrative processes for preclearance coverage determinations under the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York. “Our democracy is rooted in the sacrifices of those willing to fight for that idea greater than any one of us, and with this legislation, we are strengthening our efforts to protect it,” Hochul said in a statement. “Every New Yorker deserves the opportunity to have their voice heard, and these laws bring the ideals of self-governance closer to reality.”
In December 2022, New York expanded the amount of time citizens have to register to vote, moving the deadline for voter registration from 25 days ahead of an election to the constitutionally allowed minimum of just 10 days ahead of an election. In 2023, New York established a system for early voting by mail.
Also, anyone who plans to die before election day can receive their ballot immediately.
The already dead can register at any time, and their registration will remain permanent in NY State
Fortify Democracy!
All the more easier to cheat.
Voter protection.
Register your dog and cat.
Not setting up polling places throughout Central and South America? Why not?
No one thinks NY won't go blue anyway.
improve voter protections and accessibility for illegals/commies only.
Grrrrr
NY state went from a fairly secure voting arena to one of the worst in just a few short years. The voters voted by ballot measure a few years ago to not allow absentee ballots for anyone who did not have a very good reason. In other words they voted to keep things the same as they were. The Governor and the legislators stuck up their middle finger and ignored the voters. The need to be able to commit mass voter fraud was just to great for them.
Or the rest of the planet for that matter.
so concerned about the disenfranchised, we have election day that spans about a month. Signing into law by these parasites means the cheating is now a legal part of thier steal scheme to remain in office
why does NY even need such measures since the RATS seem to be the majority and in power?
because maybe they really aren’t, but they want to stay there...
Fixed.
Q: If NYS, including NYC, are so blue, why does Deep State have to steal our elections...?
