While most New Yorkers are thinking about their Holiday plans, Gov. Hochul (D) still has an important Deadline looming, to Improve Turnout and Election Administration in New York.
Gov. Hochul has Not yet signed S3505B/A4282B, a Bill that would improve Access, Turnout, and Efficiency, by moving most County and Town Elections in New York, to Even years.
The Governor will need to decide before the End of the year whether to Sign this Bill.
This Bill matters, because Turnout in Odd-year Elections across the State is typically Dismal.
Just 18% of Eligible Voters in New York turned out in 2023, compared to 43% in 2022 and 61% in 2020.
Extremely Low turnout in these Odd-year Elections, often leads to Unrepresentative outcomes, where an extremely Small share of Voters Elects County and Town Officials.
