For a complete voter registration form with fast, easy instructions |

Your say in how our government should operate begins on Election Day. Issues such as crime, health care, taxes, and education are shaped by the people we elect to hold office. Having the opportunity to vote for candidates who represent our ideas and beliefs is the very essence of democracy. Unfortunately, barely half of all New Yorkers eligible to vote are even registered. And among those registered, the percentage who actually vote is declining. This leaves a majority of New Yorkers shut out of the electoral process. So I have enclosed a voter registration form that makes it easy to register. Please take a few moments to complete this form. Do not hesitate to call my office if you need any assistance. Together, we can make our community, and New York, a good place to live. On Election Day, make your vote count.

The taxes we pay, the quality of our children’s education, the safety of our neighborhoods, the quality of our medical care, our rights as consumers, are all decided by the people we elect to represent us. Yet, voter turnout in the United States has declined about 20 percent in the past three decades. Only about half of all eligible voters in the U.S. cast their vote on Election Day. For state and local elections, voter turnout is usually even lower. As an Assemblymember, I know nothing is more important when deciding an issue than the views of my constituents and how my decision will impact people in my Assembly district. The power of your vote remains unchallenged. Exercise it. Register. And make your vote count. |

Now, voters can register, re-register and make address changes at many state and local offices serving the public, including the departments of Labor, Social Services, Motor Vehicle and the State and City Universities. To encourage younger people to vote, the law allows 17 year-olds to register if they will reach their 18th birthday by the end of the calendar year. New Yorkers moving within the county or within New York City automatically have their voter registration transferred to the new address, and a notice sent confirming their new polling place whenever the Board of Elections receives notice of the move. The Assembly strongly supports these measures to make it easier for all New Yorkers to participate in the voting process. |
