Governor Hochul Shares Efforts to Protect Voting Rights and Public Safety During 2024 Elections

Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James today provided an update on nonpartisan efforts to protect voting rights and public safety across New York State during the 2024 elections. Those efforts include statewide, multi-agency resources to combat misinformation and respond to any impediments to voting. This continues the Governor’s and Attorney General’s longstanding commitment to safeguarding the voting rights of all New Yorkers.

“As New Yorkers cast their ballots, we are taking every measure necessary to ensure the sanctity of the democratic process so that everyone can have their voice heard,” Governor Hochul said. “In partnership with Attorney General James and law enforcement across the state, we have established tools and protections to secure the right of all citizens to participate in this election — and we will always stand up to defend those rights against those who threaten them.”
