Join us as we discuss our next topic!
Democracy During Detention spotlights the thousands of eligible New Yorkers held in local jails who are routinely denied access to the ballot. This webinar will explore how the Democracy During Detention Act (S440/A2121) ensures that Boards of Elections—not incarcerated individuals—are responsible for guaranteeing access to registration and voting.
Tom Moats, from VVS School District & Oneida-Madison-Herkimer BOCES will speak to us about the importance of such service and provide insight on what is involved in running and serving in these capacities. This presentation is open to the public.
