WHO We Are

VoteEarlyNY is proudly pro-voter. We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit (501(c)(3)) created by voting rights advocates to educate and inform the public about their rights under New York’s voting laws and ensure that much-needed election reforms are implemented responsibly, in the spirit with which they were enacted, and made accessible to all New York voters.  

Along with our coalition partners, VoteEarlyNY provides rights-based civic education and is working to build a culture of voting and engagement that empowers communities, reducing dependence on partisan campaigns and administrators for basic information about our civil rights.

VoteEarlyNY's mission is:

• To provide all New Yorkers with accurate information about voting options, locations, and hours;
• To educate New Yorkers about their rights under New York’s new Early Voting and Absentee Balloting programs wherever they may live and regardless of who is on the ballot;
• To assist state and local elections officials in implementing modern voter-friendly policies;
• To encourage implementation of voting reforms in a manner that reduces barriers and equitably expands access to the ballot, so all eligible New Yorkers may participate in elections;
• To provide an independent feedback loop for policymakers by permitting voters the ability to report their voting experience, while a broad network of attorneys and advocates research issues that may jeopardize civil rights.
• To work with genuine, pragmatic democracy-reform partners in the achievement of the above.
