Let NY Vote is a nonpartisan, statewide coalition of grassroots networks, civil rights and civil liberties organizations, re-entry communities, good government groups, unions, social service providers, immigrant rights groups, and everyday citizens fighting to improve our elections by making registering and voting more accessible and equitable for every eligible New Yorker.
Over the past five 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.
