@nygovcuomo:
Today I signed legislation to move the deadline for party enrollment changes to February 14. This law takes effect immediately. With this action, we continue working to break down barriers to the ballot box & encourage more people to exercise their right to vote. https://t.co/Wm5f5Iu7Ms
