City Council President Lederman plans to file legislation

Last week, the New York Conservative and Republican parties filed a court challenge to the way New York’s absentee ballot system works. Under the New York Constitution, voters can request an absentee ballot if they are.

Secretary of State Jim Condos outlined what voters can expect if they plan to vote in person, plus options for early voters who haven’t returned their ballots yet.

Last month, an anemic voter turnout propelled Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican Congressmember Lee Zeldin to resounding victories over their primary opponents. A win is a win, but last week some county boards of elections were reported to be griping over the cost of early voting. Their argument was that the costs of running the early voting system greatly outweighed the benefits to voters.
