In New York, to register to vote, you can print the forms at home (great!), but you need LEGAL sized paper (not great!).
How do we address this?
By changing the pdf & doc size we eliminate this barrier to entry. It's a fix that the BOE/NYS Legislature (we) ought to address.

The fact that 3 inches of paper can prevent someone from voting is not acceptable.

Ok but whoever made the legal sized paper requirement should not be allowed to do anything paperwork related ever again.

Is the LEGAL sized paper requirement really embedded in state law (and requiring legislative approval)? Can this be remedied just within BOE?

It's not yet clear, which is why I said BOE/Legislature bc I'm going to find out now...

Why don’t you live in the district you’re running in?
Do you pledge to move prior to the primary?

This is good but it seems important to mention that most people can register to vote or change parties in NY 100% online and that forms are freely available at every public library and at the DMV

Senator, you should instead advocate and pass funding for NYS to go all digital. In 2022, there is no reason to still cling on to PDF forms. The users loathe them and they are awful to use on mobile devices.
