All New Yorkers will be allowed to cast absentee ballots in the June 23 primary elections due to the coronavirus crisis, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday.

“I have seen lines of people on television voting in other states. This is totally nonsensical,” Cuomo said during his daily briefing in Albany.

“God bless them for having such diligence for their civic duty that they would go stand on a line to vote. But people shouldn’t have to make that choice.”

Cuomo said he would issue an executive order allowing any voter to obtain and cast an absentee ballot in the upcoming primary contests without meeting the legal requirements.

State law mandates that voters certify they’ll be “absent” on Election Day or provide other reasons why they can’t vote in person.

Acceptable excuses include “temporary or permanent illness or disability,” being the “primary care giver” of someone who’s sick or disabled, or being locked up in jail while facing indictment or serving time for a violation or misdemeanor conviction.

This year’s marquee primary race pits former Vice President Joe Biden against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination to challenge President Trump in November.

Sanders, a self-described “democratic socialist,” suspended his struggling campaign on Wednesday, but said he’d remain on the ballot to “exert significant influence over the party platform.”

The ballot will also include congressional and state legislative primaries.
