The New York State Attorney General’s Office is among those asking the Rensselaer County Board pf Elections to provide additional early voting sites in the City of Troy.
On April 9, the New York Civil Liberties Union wrote for the fourth time to the Rensselaer County Board of Elections asking officials to expand early voting in the Collar City.
Perry Grossman is the Senior Staff Attorney with the Voting Rights Project at the NYCLU.

So hopefully with additional sites provided here and the data to show why it would be an improvement, the Board of Elections can finally settle on a better and more equitable early voting plan,” said Grossman.
