Contact Us with Your NY Primary Voting Issues and Concerns

WE ARE COLLECTING DATA OUTSIDE BROOKLYN:

If you are a NYS voter who encountered any issues at polling sites on Tuesday or who witnessed the issues of other voters, this is for YOU:

We are a grassroots team in the mid-Hudson Valley who were "in the thick of it" on Tuesday, advocating all day for voters' rights. We began seeing testimonies from voters all over the state of disenfranchisement and immediately began reaching out and documenting.

If you: 
a) have been consistently a registered Democrat or Republican;
b) are a new voter, registered Democrat or Republican for the first time by March 2016;
c) switched from any other party to Democrat or Republican by October 2015; or
d) weren't certain what your party affiliation was,
AND you:
a) managed to obtain a court order to vote;
b) learned your affiliation was changed online but spoke directly to the BoE and were reassured of proper affiliation and ability to vote;
c) learned at the polls that your affiliation had changed (whether or not you spoke to BoE);
d) were forced to cast an affidavit ballot; 
e) were denied an affidavit ballot; and/or
f) had any other issues at the polls OR WITNESSED OTHER ISSUES AT THE POLLS,

1) Your full name
2) County and Zip code
3) Polling Place
4) Your phone number
5) Length of Democrat or Republican voter status

9) Any other information you wish to share, details that feel important, the attitude of anyone you encountered during this process, and how many other voters you saw or heard directly from having Primary day issues.

Further, if you were a poll worker, poll watcher, or voters' advocate, we want to know what you saw.

Finally, if you are a citizen or organization collecting data on disenfranchisement, an attorney, or any other interested citizen, join our casual coalition TODAY by emailing us: voter.transparency@gmail.com.

We are New Yorkers and do not sit idly by when we've been stripped of our basic rights!

Don't wait for someone else to do for you what you can do for yourself right now, with that beautiful conscience of yours. The tragedy and beauty of this all is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
