Reinvent Albany joined the League of Women Voters of NYS and other advocacy groups in a letter to Governor Hochul to sign two important bills: 1) S2951A/A8858A, which would reduce the voter registration deadline to 10 days, and 2) S284C/A642C (“Wrong Church” rule), which would avoid disqualifying a registered voter’s ballot if it was inadvertently cast at a different poll site than their assigned one. The Governor signed S284C/A642C on December 6, 2022.
We urge the Governor to sign S2951A/A8858A as soon as possible. Reducing the voter registration deadline to 10 days would “increase voter access, reduce a structural barrier to voting for all, and increase participation in our democracy.” In addition, this reduced 10-day registration deadline would coincide with the start of early voting, thereby making it easier for New Yorkers to vote.
