Let NY Vote is a nonpartisan, state-wide coalition working to improve our elections by making voting more accessible, secure, and equitable for every New York voter.  

Over the past seven years, we brought the issue of voting reform front and center in New York and successfully advocated for the passage of over a dozen landmark voting rights reforms — the first in New York in over a century — that ensure New Yorkers have more time to vote, an easier time voting, and modern voter registration systems. 

our 2025 legislative agenda

Time extender for polling place disruptions, where an emergency or other disruption to voting lasts more than 15 minutes (S7856-2024 / A8581-2024).

Voter Challenge Protection, which requires persons that challenge the validity of voter applicants to provide their identification information and written documentation on the challenge (S2383-2024 / A2876-2024).

our longer-term goals

Move local elections to even-numbered years, including city elections (requires a constitutional amendment) (S9126-2024 / A10466-2024).

Require better notice to voters who are purged or put on inactive status (S6168-2924 / A2635-2025).  

Have New York join ERIC, an interstate data-sharing organization that helps keep voter rolls clean (S1356-2025 / A7052C-2024).

Changing the New York State Constitution to allow: 

• Expand same day voter registration to every day of in-person voting.

• Restoration of voting rights to currently incarcerated New Yorkers (S160-2025 / A412-2024).
