Thank Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for proposing changes to NY election laws

We thank Attorney General Schneiderman for taking leadership in reforming New York's election laws. The last election cycle highlighted many problems with them that made it more difficult or impossible for some people to vote. We applaud Eric Schneiderman for recognizing that making voting easier rather than harder is important for democracy and then doing something about it: proposing legislation to allow
- Automatic Voter Registration of Eligible Voters
- Same-Day Registration for New Voters
- Online Voter Registration
- Create a System of Permanent Voter Registration
- Allow Registered Voters to Change Their Party Enrollment Closer to Primary Day
- Adopt a System of Early Voting
- Provide for "No Excuse" Absentee Voting
- Ensure Uniformity of Poll Site Hours Across the State
- Consolidate Federal, State and Local Primaries on Single Day
- Enact Disaster Preparedness Protections
-Increase Language Access
- Protect Voters from Improper Challenges
-Restore Voting Rights for Citizens on Parole
- Enhance Poll Worker Training and Recruitment
Thank you, Eric Schneiderman!
