Brennan Center for Justice: Online Sample Ballots for New York City in Time for Next Election

"On Friday, our friends at Citizens Union updated us on efforts at the City Council to hold the New York City Board of Elections accountable to its promise to post sample ballots online prior to an election. As we previously blogged, in November the City Board unanimously passed a motion to post sample ballots on its website. Council Member Gale Brewer introduced the bill which would amend the City Charter to require that the Board post sample ballots on its website at least one week prior to an election. ...Posting sample ballots online is common sense and cost effective way to educate voters. Sample Ballots will make for more confident voters, shorter lines at the polls, and avoid many of the problems encountered on Election Day."

Note: Online sample ballots may be a net positive for more election seasons across the country.
