Lawmakers Want to Extend Absentee Ballot Expansion to November

Without expanded absentee voting eligibility for upcoming elections, New Yorkers will be forced to choose between their health and their vote and that is unacceptable,” Biaggi said.

“The continued rise in COVID-19 cases around the United States does not inspire confidence that we will be in a position to conduct robust in-person elections for a long time, and this legislation bridges the gap between now and when voters will have the opportunity to authorize no-excuse absentee voting for 2022."
