voter registration

Many college students in New York will be able to cast their ballot on campus this year. For some, it’s the first general election where that’s an option.

In Broome and Tompkins counties, only about 27% of people registered to vote actually cast a ballot.

"I would suspect that this is an example of the people who scheduled those initiatives choosing the wrong election to put those initiatives on the ballot."

The measure would make registering to vote an opt- out rather than an opt- in process.

"Once people know they’re registered, a really significant proportion, 40 to 50 percent of them, take that invitation and go in and vote. That’s a big increase."

You can register in person, online, or by mail, but make sure it's postmarked today. "We recommend that you go, actually into the post office and have them stamp it in front of you. Don’t just drop it in the mailbox because we get mail without postmarks and then we can’t count it, unfortunately."
