Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul
"The Court of Appeals' unanimous decision to uphold New York's even-year election law is a victory for democracy and all New Yorkers. I championed this legislation because I believe our state is stronger when more people have the opportunity to make their voices heard.
"By aligning local elections with the state and federal calendar, we're making it easier for New Yorkers to participate in government. At a time when voting rights are under attack across the nation, New York is proudly moving in the opposite direction."
