Making voting more accessible, secure, and equitable for every New York voter.
We are a nonpartisan, state-wide coalition working to improve our elections by making voting more accessible, secure, and equitable for every New York voter.
Let New York Vote
A stronger,
safer democracy.
For all.
Over the past seven years, we brought the issue of voting reform front and center in New York.
We 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 register to vote, an easier time voting, and faster, more accurate election results.
