If You're a New Yorker, It's Now Easier to Vote!

New York has had some of the most restrictive, antiquated voting laws in the country. But now, thanks to the hard work of CWA members and retirees during last year's election to bring new leadership in the state legislative chambers, legislators passed a much-needed wave of voting reforms. The new legislation includes early voting, same-day voting registration, pre-registration for 16 and 17 year olds, portable registration, only one primary day, and no-excuse absentee voting.


CWAers in District 1 led the way along with other labor unions and activists, calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to make voting reform a top priority.
