Bipartisan Supported Voter Initiative Proposed in Rockland

Rockland County Legislators on both sides of the aisle are supporting a new initiative called the Democracy Project. The initiative would remove barriers to voter registration and make voting easier for everyday citizens. This bipartisan supported piece of legislation would also allow early voting, as well as automatic and same-day voter registration. Legislators say the goal of the Democratic Project is to ensure that registering and casting ballots becomes easier and more convenient; New York is just one of 13 states that does not allow early voting.
