Being ready to vote is about more than showing up on Election Day. It’s about knowing what to expect before you get there. This week, take a little time to get informed, get prepared, and help the people around you do the same.

Election Day reminds us how powerful access to the ballot is. But across New York, thousands of eligible voters in local jails couldn’t participate — not because they lost the right to vote, but because the system made it nearly impossible to use it.
