New Yorkers head to polls on election day in New York, USA – 2 Nov 2021
ALBANY, N.Y. (77 WABC) — New Yorkers can again choose to vote by absentee rather than face the risk of catching COVID-19 at polling sites through the rest of 2022 under a bill that Gov. Kathy Hochul signed Friday.
The bill’s passage comes months after voters in November defeated two proposed constitutional amendments expanding voting rights.
Democrats wielding a legislative supermajority had expected both to easily pass.
