LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote waiting time crazy

(re: “Time for early voting,” Feb. 15)

Gabrielle Shatan’s recent letter correctly decries the onerous requirements in this state for primary voting.

Our presidential primary date in 2016 was April 19. Eligibility to vote in a party’s primary that year required registration in that party by Oct. 9, 2015. 

Some states have no waiting period, and no other has one as long as New York’s, nor do the District of Columbia or any of the five U.S. territories.
