Important Information for Voters PRIMARY ELECTIONS: TUESDAY June 22, 2021 Early Voting: June 12 - June 20 Deadlines for voting in primary elections: Voter Registration: May 28, 2021 Application for Absentee Ballot: June 21, 2021 Postmark for Absentee Ballot: June 22, 2021 Remember that New York State has a closed primary. Although only enrolled members of a party can vote in that party’s primary elections, registered voters may vote for any party’s candidate on Election Day. GENERAL ELECTION: TUESDAY November 2, 2021 Early Voting: October 23 - October 31 Deadlines for voting in the general election: Voter Registration: October 8, 2021 Application for Absentee Ballot: October 26, 2021 (November 1 in person) Postmark for Absentee Ballot: November 2, 2021 REMEMBER: You must be registered in order to vote. You may register if you will be 18 years of age by Election Day, a resident of the county for at least 30 days prior to the election, and a citizen of the United States. 16 and 17 year-olds can now pre-register to vote, but will not be able to vote until they are 18. If you have moved in the state since the last time you voted, you will be able to vote on affidavit ballot in your new election district. Since this is a change, we do recommend re-registering with your new address. SUFFOLK COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS P.O.

Educate yourself on the candidates and issues in each election, whether local or national. Once the Suffolk County Board of Elections has processed your registration, you will be mailed a card indicating your polling place. If you do not receive the card or have questions, you may call them at (631) 852-4500. You are able to vote early in all the primaries (if registered in a party before February 15, 2021) and in the general election. Early Voting begins 10 days before the regular voting date and goes through to the Sunday before Election Day. Your polling place for Early Voting most often is different from your regular poll site and has different hours. Check with the Suffolk County Board of Elections to find the sites and times. Votes cast in Early Voting are counted on Election Day. If you will be out of Suffolk County on Election Day, or are physically unable to get to the polling place because of temporary illness or physical disability or duties related as primary caretaker of a physically disabled or ill person, you may request an absentee ballot application from the Board of Elections. In 2021 unless there is another emergency declared and an executive order, there is no “no-excuse” absentee ballot or automatic mailing of an absentee ballot application to all registered voters. To be sure your request is processed, ask for the absentee ballot at least 4 weeks before Election Day. This is a two-step process. ALWAYS check the New York State Board of Elections website www.elections.ny.gov. It is updated frequently. They are also responsive via telephone at (518) 474-6220. ID Needed for Voting in New York State Federal law requires persons who register by mail for the first time to provide identification. Identification means a current NYS driver’s license or the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you do not have either of these, you may provide a copy of a valid photo ID, or a current utility bill, bank statement, government check or some other government documentation that shows your name and address. If you do not provide identification when you register, you may be asked for it the first time you vote. NEVER LEAVE THE POLLING PLACE WITHOUT VOTING! If your name is not on the list, ask for an affidavit ballot! On Election Day all polling places in Suffolk County are open from 6am to 9pm.

The 2008 Legislative Session was a productive one. Following a series of public Conference Committee meetings, the 2008-09 Legislative budget for higher education provided $115.7 million in additions above the Executive proposal. The Legislature increased Operating Aid for SUNY State Operated colleges above the Executive proposal by $38.4 million and by $19.6 million for CUNY Senior colleges, and restored the Executive’s $27.5 million proposed cuts to community college base aid, returning funding levels from $2,555 per full-time equivalent (FTE) to $2,675 per FTE for SUNY and CUNY community colleges. The Legislature restored $15.4 million to the Tuition Assistance Programs, rejecting a $50 across the board cut to all TAP recipients. Additionally, the Assembly fought against a $2.9 million cut to the TAP program that would have prohibited students in default on their federal student loans to continue to receive TAP. The Assembly also continued its commitment in ensuring all students have access to higher education and enhancing student academic success with an $8.8 million restoration for higher education counseling, remedial coursework, financial assistance, drop-out prevention and skills training programs.

While living through an unprecedented pandemic, the membership of the New York State Lifeguard Corps rose to the occasion while quickly and efficiently Secretary Tim Mondello rewriting protocols and standard operating procedures. The leadership of the NYSLC worked in consultation with Albany and all of the regions to make sure the patrons of our great park system had a safe environment to Treasurer enjoy as our country battled COVID-19.

Allegany Region Across the state, lifeguards ran thousands of water rescues and emerged from the water with limited COVID- 19 personal protective equipment, reunited lost children with their parents, and provided lifesaving medical Central New York Ashley Pigg aid while our facilities were packed seven days a week. Without popular events like the Jones Beach Air Show or Fourth of July Fireworks, Long Island beaches were packed from sunrise to sunset, starting Memorial DEC Day Weekend and extending into a warmer than usual post-season.

  • June 4, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M
    June 4, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: Our state’s successful recovery from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on how quickly we transition from a state of near total lockdown to a fully functioning and vibrant economy. One sector that has been deemed necessary from day one, construction related to essential infrastructure, is key to this success. However, $743 million in local infrastructure construction and maintenance projects are on hold due to inaction by the state. We appreciate your recent statements about the importance of infrastructure investment as a critical and effective way to help restart and stimulate our economy and get people back to work. At your briefing you said: “There is no better time to build than right now. You need to start the economy, you need to create jobs, and you need to renew and repair this country’s economy and infrastructure. Now is the time to do it.” We could not agree more. And while your remarks thus far have focused on larger, regionally significant downstate tunnels and mass transit needs, we are confident that you fully recognize the importance of local transportation infrastructure projects to the vitality of so many upstate, rural economies, and to the statewide transportation system as a whole. Our Assembly Minority Conference and other legislative colleagues worked together with you this year to enact a fully committed and dedicated plan to invest in the local transportation infrastructure network through vital programs like CHIPS, PAVE-NY, BRIDGE-NY, and Extreme Winter Recovery.

Several of our constituents, including pastors, rabbis, and other religious leaders, have reached out asking for us to speak out regarding this request. The COVID-19 outbreak has not just caused a physical health crisis; it has also caused a mental and spiritual crisis for many as well. New Yorkers have been ordered into isolation with almost no warning and while virtual services and practicing at home have been viable options for the time being, it is not enough for many who are starting to feel the serious effects of NY on PAUSE. In addition to this affecting the mental and spiritual health of New Yorkers, it is also harming our local religious institutions. Many of these facilities rely heavily on donations and offerings and though some have continued to give virtually, the age-old phrase of “out of sight, out of mind” has begun to take effect. The toll this could have on religious institutions could be disastrous and by the time they are able to re-open, many may not be able to. While we are unsure of where religious institutions would fall under the four phases proposed to open New York, we seriously hope you consider having them open sooner rather than later, to help both the struggling institutions and the mental and spiritual health of New Yorkers.

  • THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District
    BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K.

First, we will take this opportunity to reiterate our strong support for the PAVE-NY and BRIDGE-NY programs enacted as part of the 2016-17 state budget. These initiatives have provided invaluable funding for additional road paving, and bridge and culvert work for both the state and local systems, and we will look forward to their continuation this year and in future years. Nevertheless, as we continue to address the sustainable future of New York’s locally maintained transportation infrastructure, we must once again highlight the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS), which as you know makes the key difference for so many local communities, economies, governments, motorists, and taxpayers throughout the state.

Didi Barrett Chair, Assembly Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Legislative Office Building, Room 841 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Heastie, Chairwomen Gunther and Barrett: We write to request that the Majority Conference immediately release all available funding for the Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer-to-Peer Support Program. As you are aware, more than $4.5 million was allocated in the 2020-2021 Enacted Budget for this critical initiative. Continuing to delay the distribution of these resources threatens one of the most relied-upon and successful programs serving New York’s veterans. We hope you agree, after all they have given to us, our veteran community deserves all the care, attention and assistance we can provide. The financial impacts of COVID-19 on our state have been devastating. While we appreciate the need for prudent spending during these times, the pandemic has also taken a severe toll on individuals struggling with mental illness or post-traumatic stress. Veterans involved in the Dwyer Peer-to-Peer Program depend greatly on these critical services for their personal health and well- being, employment and housing assistance, and necessary recovery. Last year members of the Assembly Minority Conference toured the state and talked to veterans about looming budget and program cuts, and the impacts such actions would have on critical services. Through collaborative efforts, millions in proposed cuts to the Joseph P.
