Although the 2025 legislative session has concluded, we can still recruit more co-sponsors for our pro-voter bills to ensure our elections are accessible for all eligible New Yorkers.

Below, you'll find all the scripts and information you'll need to call your legislators to co-sponsor Let NY Vote's priority bills. Thank you for taking action!

1. Call your Assemblymember

• Find your Assemblymember and their phone number here.
• Find out which LNYV priority bills your Assemblymember co-sponsors here.
• Here's a script you can use, but feel free to personalize your message:

"Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm calling from [TOWN/CITY] to urge [ASSEMBLYMEMBER] to support by co-sponsoring three voting reform bills that will ensure every eligible New Yorker - regardless of where they live or their circumstances - can register, vote, and have their ballot counted.

First, A2121, sponsored by Assembly Woman Latrice B. Walker, is the Democracy During Detention Act thatestablishes the election infrastructure to make voting accessible for all those eligible to vote who are detained in jails and correctional facilities.

Second, I'm advocating for passage of bill A1228, sponsored by Assemblymember Rebecca Seawright, which ensures that election commissioners complete a uniform training curriculum within 6 months of their appointment.

(read this third point if you're registered to vote in NYC) Third and lastly, A1993, sponsored by Assemblymember William Colton, increases compensation of Election Inspectors to $300 and Coordinators to $350 in New York City.

(read this third point if you're registered to vote outside of NYC) Third and lastly, A3954A aka the Student Voter Empowerment Act, sponsored by Assemblymember Steven Raga, expands civic engagement practices for students at colleges.

All of these voting reform bills will enhance voter service and strengthen professionalism, transparency, and accountability across board of elections.

As your constituent, can I count on [ASSEMBLYMEMBER] to support these critical pro-voter bills before the end of the year?

Thank you for your time."

2. Call your State Senator

• Find your Senator and their phone number here.
• Find out which LNYV priority bills your Senator co-sponsors here.
• Here's a script you can use, but feel free to personalize your message:

"Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm calling from [TOWN/CITY] to urge [STATE SENATOR] to support by co-sponsoring three voting reform bills that will ensure every eligible New Yorker - regardless of where they live or their circumstances - can register, vote, and have their ballot counted.

First, S5751, sponsored by Sen. Michael Gianaris, which amends the constitution to delete the requirement that registration for purposes of voting be completed at least ten days before election day, allowing for same-day registration.

Second, thousands of citizens in correctional facilities and jails have not lost the right to vote, but their access to vote is limited at best or is outright denied. The Democracy During Detention Act, S440 that is sponsored by Sen. Zellnor Myrie, ensures county boards of elections provide fair and timely access to vote registration and at least one method of voting - absentee voting, early voting by mail, or in-person voting at polling sites - for eligible citizens in jails and correctional facilities.

Third, and lastly, it's vital for our youth to engage in our democracy, especially as turnout in the general election from that mentioned group declined last year, so the Student Voter Empowerment Act, S2056 under Sen. Lea Webb, expands civic engagement practices for students at colleges.

As your constituent, can I count on [STATE SENATOR] to support these critical pro-voter bills before the end of the year?

Thank you for your time."
