Albany is being applauded for enacting several popular pro-voter reforms, including taking the first step in amending the state constitution to allow voters to register and vote on Election Day without a waiting period, and permitting New Yorkers to vote by mail without restrictions or conditions.

Albany passed two additional reforms that were also a long time coming: “early voting” and a June (rather than September) primary election.
