“This is a city of immigrants, and New Yorkers deserve a voice in their city representatives and the policies that will shape their lives,” added New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. “I’m grateful to the elected officials and advocates who have worked on this issue for so long, and that even as some states work to strip voting rights from communities of more color, our city joins others across the nation who already have restored this right and expanded democracy.”
Murad Awawdeh, executive director, New York Immigration Coalition, stated, “This legislation will usher in the largest enfranchisement of New Yorkers in more than a century and marks a bold step forward in the fight for protecting and expanding democracy.”
This week, however, New York State senators passed a slew of bills to make voting easier. Some of these bills include S.4658 (sponsored by State Sen. Kevin Parker) that will designate polling places on college campuses under certain circumstances, S.758B (sponsored by State Sen.
