Making Voting Easier Press Conference

Senator James Sanders Jr. will be holding a press conference to discuss his legislation (S8004), which would require the Board of Elections to provide a return postage guaranteed envelope with absentee ballots. Assembly Member Jeff Dinowitz, who is the sponsor of the companion bill in the Assembly, will join Senator Sanders.

“In this difficult time as we continue to battle coronavirus, it is absolutely necessary that we make voting and participating in the democratic process as easy and safe as possible, and that includes fine tuning voting by absentee ballot,” Sanders said. “This legislation will remove some of the confusion and complications associated with voting by absentee ballot like having to go out and purchase postage or not knowing how much postage to use.”

Dr. Hazel N. Dukes

Senator Kevin Parker

Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal

New York Civil Liberties Union

Jamaica NAACP
