CFB Statement on Change to New York's Party Enrollment Deadline

06/21/2019

The NYC Campaign Finance Board issued the following statement from Executive Director Amy Loprest: 

“NYC Votes and the NYC Campaign Finance Board joins with all New Yorkers in celebrating the passage of legislation to create more flexibility for voters to join a party or change their party affiliation. New York has long been an outlier on this issue as the only state to bar voters from changing parties in the election year. The legislation passed in Albany yesterday ensures that New Yorkers will have a much easier time participating in their elections. The Campaign Finance Board and its Voter Assistance Advisory Committee applauds the work of the legislators, the advocates, and the voters who have pushed for this change over so many years.”
