Election reform bill introduced in New York to increase access

ALBANY, N.Y. (WCAX) - The Senate Democratic Majority in New York is advancing bills focused on election reform.

The bills have to do with portable polling locations, expanding ballot drop-off locations, establishing the New York Voting and Elections Database, allowing food and nonalcoholic drinks to voters waiting in line at the polls, and establishing voter suppression as a criminal offense.

These bills have only passed the Senate, they still have to pass the Assembly.
