Please find below the weekly ACTION ALERTS from Indivisible NY24 and our legislative action teams.
The Senate went on recess without taking up the House’s Heroes Act, which provides COVID19 relief, including vital funding for the November election and the postal service.
All registered Democrats in Onondaga County should have received an Application for Absentee Ballot for the June 23 primary election. If you have not, you can request one or download one from the election board website. You need to complete the application and return it by mail in order to receive a ballot. Per Gov. Cuomo’s executive order, all registered voters are eligible to vote absentee in the June 23 primary election. Just select “temporary illness” as the reason you’re unable to vote in person (this is authorized due to COVID-19, even if you’re not sick yourself), and then follow the instructions for submitting the application. If you’re from another county, check your county board of elections website or call the board.
If you have received the ballots (one for the presidential primary and one for all other primaries), return them to the BOE in the postage-paid envelope provided. Voters who wish to vote by mail in November will have to reapply, starting in July.
And now, on to the action alerts.
