In 37 states (including 3 that mail ballots to all voters) and the District of Columbia, any qualified voter may cast a ballot in person during a designated period prior to Election Day. No excuse or justification is required.

In 2016 there is no excuse to not expand these early voting rules to New York State. The risk versus reward is very low as all accounts in other states that have implemented it is increased votes.

NYS please implement no excuse early and no excuse absentee voting!
