A handful of Queens organizations joined a total of 50 groups state-wide raising the call for voters to support a number of ballot questions included in the November election intended to support voting rights.
The three actions — same-day voter registration, no-fault absentee voting and a number of redistricting reforms — all passed in the state legislature and await citizen approval.
“These three ballot questions offer critical reforms to increase voter access and improve democracy in New York,” said Theo Oshiro, co-executive director of Make the Road New York. “A ‘yes’ vote on each of these questions is a vote for ensuring that immigrant, Black, brown, and working-class community members’ voices will be heard at the polls and in the redistricting process.”
