In 2026, the fight for control of the House once again runs straight through New York. This year, we’re working to re-elect Governor Hochul and elect Democrats up and down the ballot, because the future of the country will be shaped by what happens here in our own backyard.At the same time, we are preparing to protect voters and safeguard our election systems to ensure every eligible New Yorker can cast a ballot without barriers, confusion, or intimidation. This will be an all-hands-on-deck effort across the state, and we need you in this fight.

<h2>Watson v. RNC</h2>In a huge win for voters, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold grace periods for mail ballots.Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett rejected the GOP’s argument that federal laws setting a date for elections preempted states from accepting ballots received after that day.States, including New York, can count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after.
