Press release from Manhattan Community Board 5:

November 19 2020

From the NYC Campaign Finance Board:

As the Board of Elections continues to count every vote from the November election, we want to hear about New Yorkers’ experiences voting in this year's unprecedented election. On Wednesday, December 9th from 5:30pm-8:30pm, the Voter Assistance Advisory Committee (VAAC) of the New York City Campaign Finance Board will hold a hearing to listen to feedback from New Yorkers who voted in this year’s general election.

We want to hear from New Yorkers about:

• Experiences voting early and in person on Election Day.
• Experience voting by mail and requesting absentee ballots.
• Other improvements to elections in New York City.

The meeting will be virtual, and we are asking all guests to RSVP using this link. Those interested in submitting written or spoken testimony should email Jordan Pantalone (jpantalone@nyccfb.info). The testimony we receive will inform our recommendations to improve the election system and will be shared with the Board of Elections and local decision makers.

We ask that you please share this information with your constituents ahead of the December 9th hearing. Please feel free to reach out with any questions in the meantime. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
