New York Lawyers for the Public Interest is proud to offer a voting rights guide for New Yorkers to raise our voices and make change in the 2020 General Election.

• We explain details of absentee or mail-in voting, early voting, and Election Day voting options.
• Our guide promotes voting rights for all New Yorkers, including the rights of voters with disabilities, voters who are homeless, voters who experience domestic violence, and other circumstances.
• We discuss the problem of voter intimidation, and include information about how to address it.
• We also describe typical voter suppression tactics, including racist efforts to undermine the voting rights of people of color — and in particular Black Americans.

Throughout the guide and in its conclusion, we provide voting rights resources for New Yorkers.
