Empire State Indivisible Supports New York State Pro-Democracy Ballot Proposals 1–3–4

Part of the Indivisible movement, Empire State Indivisible works to hold our elected leaders to account and engage New Yorkers in civic life.

With many of the organizations here today we have successfully advocated for the voting reforms enacted in New York State since early 2019. These reforms have enabled more New Yorkers to have access to voting and to participate in our democracy but we know we have much more to do.

Empire State Indivisible supports ballot proposals one, three, and four because these proposals will help improve and bring fairness to the redistricting process, work to further expand and safeguard voting access, and help increase civic engagement.

Over the next few weeks through election day we will work to educate New Yorkers to vote yes for ballot proposal one, districts that put New Yorkers before politicians; proposal three, no more voter registration deadlines, and proposal four, absentee voting, no excuse needed.
