New York Public Radio/WXXI: Hochul urged to sign bill that would shift some local elections to even-numbered years
Skoufis on Monday held a news conference attended by government reform advocates, including Susan Lerner of Common Cause.
Lerner said the state holds so many elections on various dates throughout the year — including village elections in March, school budgets in May, and primaries in June — that voters can become confused and weary.
“New York state, there's a concept called voter fatigue,” Lerner said. “And unfortunately, we are fatiguing our voters.”
