The New York State Court of Appeals upheld a vote-by-mail law, allowing voters more accessibility and aiming to combat historical voter apathy in off-year elections.
This law introduces a secure vote-by-mail option, allowing registered voters to cast their ballots from home, thus providing greater flexibility in how and when people vote.
The option for voters to mail their votes, or drop them off at polling sites, demonstrates New York's commitment to increasing voter access and participation.
Critics like Congress Member Elise Stefanik claim vote-by-mail undermines election integrity, but this concerns voter access, especially given New York's historical turnout issues.
