Calling for state leaders to protect New Yorkers' voting rights and pushing for Enhanced Automatic Voter Registration #DemocracyCantWait
📝Session is wrapping up, and the Assembly still hasn't passed #EnhancedAVR! Supporters like Assemblymembers Reyes, Taylor, Bores, Wright, Alvarez, Cruz, Septimo, Clark, O'Pharrow, Tapia, Raga, and Meeks are fighting to protect voting rights until the very end. RT if you think #DemocracyCantWait!

Now more than ever, fears of voter fraud are being weaponized to suppress votes. #EnhancedAVR combats this with built-in citizenship checks, ensuring only eligible citizens register, making New York State elections both secure AND accessible. #EmpowerWithEAVR

400,000 eligible unregistered voters live in Nassau and Suffolk counties. #EnhancedAVR would make voting more accessible for eligible Long Islanders who deserve to be represented in their elections. #NYVotes

Read Assemblymember Charles Levine’s Op-Ed: www.liherald.com/stories/enha...
Charles Lavine: Enhanced automatic voter registration is needed
Democracy begins at the ballot box. But for far too many Long Islanders—especially working-class residents, naturalized immigrants, and communities of color—that access remains out of reach.

As the Trump administration attempts to disenfranchise voters, New York must act to protect voting rights. #EnhancedAVR is a vital step to maximize voter participation and ensure more equitable elections in New York State. #DemocracyCantWait

Latino voters make up nearly 25% of the city’s voting population, yet 300,000 eligible Latinos are not registered. #EnhancedAVR is how we make sure as many eligible voices as possible are included in the democratic process. #VotingRights

#EnhancedAVR on NY1: CUNY report finds 1.4M eligible voters not registered for upcoming primary! Assemblymember Reyes discusses Latino voter registration data and ways that #EAVR can boost turnout and protect non-citizens. #DemocracyCantWait

It’s proven that #EnhancedAVR means more voters! Colorado doubled DMV registrations with EAVR, and Delaware saw a 30% increase. It would maximize registration rates and reduce errors, giving MILLIONS the power of the ballot. #DemocracyCantWait

@minkwoncenter.bsky.social and APA Voice New York at the 2025 AAPI Summit panel titled "New York Counts on APAs: Centering the Fastest Growing Minority Group & Electorate". Panelists discussed the New York Counts Act as well as #EnhancedAVR!

New York's current Partial AVR is slow & outdated. We're leaving out 2.7M eligible unregistered voters! Other states have moved to better systems, and it's time for us to catch up with #EnhancedAVR. #DemocracyCantWait

It’s Democratic Primaries month in NYC and 1.4 MILLION eligible voters remain unregistered. #EnhancedAVR is the way to make sure we include all those who qualify in decisions that affect the city’s future. #DemocracyCantWait #NYCElections #EmpowerWithEAVR

🚨The only way to ensure a just democracy is to ensure all eligible voters are included in the voting process. #EnhancedAutomaticVoterRegistration would make New York State a more inclusive democracy. #EmpowerWithEAVR #DemocracyCantWait

With #EnhancedAVR, voting would be more easily accessible to the missing 2 MILLION+ eligible voters across New York State who deserve to be included in the democratic process. #EmpowerWithEAVR #DemocracyCantWait #NoActionNoDemocracy

1.4 million eligible New Yorkers are unregistered to vote—which includes more than 300,000 Latinos, or 1 in 4 total voting age Latino citizens. #EnhancedAVR would involve more Latino New Yorkers in the electoral process and ensure a just democracy! #EmpowerWithAVR #DemocracyCantWait

TODAY, in a virtual media briefing, Assemblymember Karines Reyes and NYID stressed the urgent need for #EAVR in NYS. This legislation would register 300K+ unregistered Latino voters & protect immigrants from accidental registration risks. #EmpowerWithEAVR #DemocracyCantWait

Democracy is under attack, and a new Op-Ed from NYS Senator Michael Gianaris and Assemblymember Karines Reyes illustrates that Enhanced #AVR is the solution to make voting truly accessible for all in New York State. #DemocracyCantWait #EmpowerWithEAVR

Opinion: Enhanced Automatic Voter Registration is how New York can secure a better democracy for all
A proposed law would automatically add eligible New Yorkers to the voter rolls whenever they interact with the DMV and other state agencies.

Shocking data: Non-Hispanic Black & Asian/Pacific Islander populations have the highest shares of unregistered eligible voters in NYC. We need to break down these barriers and make the registration process easier with #EAVR!

Democracy is at risk, and NY is lagging behind! 🚨 Across the state, 2 MILLION+ eligible voters are not registered. Enhanced automatic voter registration is the key to making sure our voices are heard!

NYC’s voting participation gap of over 1 MILLION voters undermines the city’s democratic ideals and leaves millions without a voice in decisions that directly impact their communities. We need #EnhancedAVR.
