Cuomo affers—Zegi—Tative

Package to Ease Voting

 

 

 

By JEFFREY SCHMALZ
Special to in. New York Times

ALBANY, Jan. 18 —— GOVemor.
Cuorne today sent the Legislature a
package of bills that he said would “ex-
pand the opportunity for all New York-
ers to participate in the election pro-
cess.”

One easure would allow a resident
toregis erinpersonatacentralboard
of electpns as late as 10 days before an
election Currently, central registra-
tion eludes more than 50 days before an
election.

Another bill would provide uniform
voting hours in statewide primary elec-
tions, calling for polls to be open from

 

 

I; AM. to 9 PM. In some counties, the

NY T

polls do not open until noon.

Spokesmen for the majority leaders
in the Assembly and the Senate said
they wanted to study the bills before
commenting on them. But another of
the measures submitted today deals
with an issue that is already in dispute.

That bill would make mail-registra-
tion forms more widely available, re-
quiring that they be distributed to gov-
ernment offiws, schools, banks and ii-
braries. A similar measure was de
feated by the Sarate last year, with its
Republican majority fearing that a
registration plan in state offices —
such as social-service agencies —cou.ld
be directed at traditionally Democratic
groups

Anne; 1/3/95. ’5'

 

Governor Cuomo then ordered that
the registration take place in state
agencies anyway, and the state's Re
publican chairman, George C. Clark
Jr., sued to block the move.

Mr. Clark won in State Supreme
Court, but the decision was reversed in
the Appellate Division. The state said it
has received no notice of an appeal by
Mr. Clark.

Gary Fryer, a spokes an for the
Governor, said that, under" e law, the
executive order extended y to state .
agencies and that the legis tion intro- :’
duced today was intend to make
mail-registration forms available at
local and county government ofﬁces as
well.
