It is absolutely bonkers that we are so critical of other states and yet have closed primaries and early registration cutoffs.

It's part of the NY constitution that registration has to occur at least 10 days before election day. There was a ballot measure last year that would have removed this requirement but it failed.

Just shows you why it's important to show up and vote in every election.
