STATEMENT FROM MAYOR DE BLASIO ON STATE LEGISLATURE’S PASSAGE OF ELECTION REFORM

  

“New York has taken a tremendous step forward to make voting easier for all New Yorkers. Early voting, pre-registering 16- and 17-year-olds and the consolidation of state and federal primaries will help break barriers for New Yorkers every Election Day. I thank Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and the rest of the legislature for passing these key reforms. The legislature should also be proud for passing same-day voter registration and voting by mail. We must continue to push for these reforms so that the next legislature includes them on the ballot in 2021.”
