Laura Ladd Bierman, Executive Director, League of Women Voters of New York State said, “The League of Women Voters of New York State applauds t
he Senate for taking meaningful action on bills to protect our democracy. As the 2024 election approaches, it is critical that we safeguard our election system and ensure that every New Yorker can cast their ballot.
We applaud the inclusion of bills that would allow for New York to join ERIC (a multistate voter list maintenance organization), expand access to the polls, and create the Doctor John L. Flateau Voting and Elections Database and Academic Center of New York Act. This database will increase transparency in our elections and provide the information needed to fight voter suppression more effectively across the state. We urge the Assembly to take similar action to protect voters and the democratic process.”
