Five Reforms To Fix New York.

Every New Yorker deserves a real voice and real choices. Unite NY helps citizens understand the system. Our reforms are backed by evidence and supported across party lines.

Ranked Choice Voting

Rank the candidates in order of preference. If your first choice can’t win, your vote automatically transfers to your second choice.

Ballot Access

Voters deserve real choices, and New York’s ballot access laws are among the most restrictive in the country.

Open Primaries

Open primaries allow every voter the ability to participate in candidate selection.

Term Limits

Fresh voices bring fresh ideas and real accountability.

Citizen Ballot Initiative

Enable New Yorkers to put issues directly on the ballot.

As a small business owner for 40 years, I've learned that real solutions come from listening across the political spectrum. I support Unite NY because government should represent the will of the people it serves with compassion and wisdom.

South Wales, NY

After working with several organizations focused on supporting independent candidates or creating political parties, I found Unite NY. For the first time, I saw an approach that could genuinely give all voters a meaningful voice which will help make New York a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Barbara C.

As a Buffalo resident, educator, and union member, I stand with Unite NY in fighting for ballot access, open primaries, and ranked choice voting — reforms that give voters real power to express their actual preferences at the ballot box.
