Unite NY in the News: Let New Yorkers vote to have local open primaries
The New York Daily News Editorial Board wrote an op-ed supporting open primaries in New York City.
"To the detriment of more than a million of its citizens, New York City is one of few big American cities with closed primaries, limiting who can vote for mayor and other local offices in the election that counts the most.
New Yorkers must be allowed a choice to instituting open primaries — also called nonpartisan elections — and a petition drive by the government reform group Unite NY will make that referendum happen either this November or next fall. That is something to celebrate. Thank you, Unite NY."
