New York State Election Law Issues

Start 04/25/2023 - 5:30 PM
End 04/25/2023 - 7:15 PM

COURSE DETAILS

The New York State Constitution was amended in 2014 to change the process and rules governing the  drawing of district lines for the NYS legislature and NY’s congressional districts. The post 2020 census redistricting was the first test for the new plan – yet issues and problems with NYS’ electoral system remain.

 

Our panelists will discuss such issues as:

 

Redistricting:

 

  • What Happened; Where are We Now; What’s Next?
  • Recent Court Decisions
  • Understanding the New Map
  • Reforming the State and Local Redistricting Process

 

Election Law Reform

 

  • Recent Changes in Election Law
  • Pending Changes Before the State Legislature
  • The John R. Lewis NYS Voting Rights Act

 

Election Administration

 

  • What’s Wrong with the Current Structure
  • What Changes Can be Made?
  • Roadmap to the Future
