Tell Governor Hochul to sign the
time extender Bill
Polling places will be required to extend the time for balloting when an emergency disrupts voting for more than one hour.
Right now, it is urgent to get Governor Kathy Hochul to sign the Time Extender bill into law — a policy that ensures accessibility to vote at the polling site by restoring lost time caused by a disruption of a power outage, weather emergency, or threat to public safety. This bill is more relevant than ever as we can expect an increase of voter intimidation and suppression at the poll sites.
Pressure Governor Hochul to sign S4602B / A5846B into law so it can be applied during Early Voting and November General Election Day!
