MEDIA STATEMENT
Buffalo, NY — On Wednesday, Unite NY Executive Director Anthony Thomas presented legislation on ranked choice voting, open primaries, and ballot access before the Buffalo Charter Review Commission.
“Buffalo voters deserve a system that rewards competition, broad participation, and enfranchises all voters,” said Anthony Thomas of Unite NY. “Ranked choice voting, open primaries, and fairer ballot access are practical, commonsense reforms. The Commission should give these proposals full, timely consideration.”
Unite NY urges the Commission to conduct a thorough and timely review of these proposals in the weeks ahead, consistent with its responsibility to Buffalo voters.
