“NY State leaders should be applauded for the dramatic reforms they have initiated to our electoral landscape. The budget should reflect the need to invest in our Democracy by funding these reforms and easing the burden on the Counties that host our Boards of Elections. Funding for initial capital and ongoing expenses is necessary for New York to be a true leader in Electoral Reform,” said Dustin Czarny, Onondaga County Elections Commissioner and member of NYS Elections Commissioner Association Democratic Caucus.
