Five Reforms To Fix New York.

Every New Yorker deserves a real voice and real choices. Unite NY helps citizens understand the system. Our reforms are backed by evidence and supported across party lines.

Ranked Choice Voting

Rank the candidates in order of preference. If your first choice can’t win, your vote automatically transfers to your second choice.

Ballot Access

Voters deserve real choices, and New York’s ballot access laws are among the most restrictive in the country.

Open Primaries

Open primaries allow every voter the ability to participate in candidate selection.

Term Limits

Fresh voices bring fresh ideas and real accountability.

Citizen Ballot Initiative

Enable New Yorkers to put issues directly on the ballot.
