Today I’m issuing five Executive Orders to make sure every vote counts this November:
✅Redesign envelopes to eliminate confusion about where to sign absentee ballots
✅BOEs must send a mailing to voters with deadlines & instructions for getting absentee ballots

✅ All BOEs must take steps to be ready to start counting votes ASAP
✅ All BOEs must report staffing plans and any staffing needs to ensure a fair, complete and accurate vote
✅ Extend the 'temporary illness' option to elections not administered by the BOE

I signed legislation last week allowing all voters to request absentee ballots if they are concerned about COVID.
No need to wait: You can request an absentee ballot today.
Everyone should be able to exercise the fundamental right to vote without risking their health.

Great job Gov. Cuomo for putting in safeguards to NY's election system!
