Critical Information: Regarding voting in the 2022 Primaries
There’s been a lot of talk lately about New York State’s redistricting plan, how it impacts Republicans, how it impacts Democrats, what does it mean for incumbents and for challengers. But there has been little, if any, guidelines for how does all this affect YOU – the voters!
Reclaim has compiled answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about the spring, summer and fall elections, voter registration and other matters important to those who want their voices heard and their votes to make a difference. You will also find helpful information and answers to any questions you may have on the New York State official Board of Elections website, www.elections.ny.gov

Reclaim invites you to a webinar, to be held Thursday, October 6 th from 6:00 – pm – 7:00 pm on one of the most important aspects of the election season and one of the most important citizenship functions you can perform – serving as a poll worker or as a poll watcher on election day (and in the cases of poll workers, for the mail in period prior to election day).
We are honored that Commissioner Fred Umane, Esq., Commissioner of the New York City Board of Elections, and a prominent attorney in New York, has agreed to present this critical online seminar.
There has been much debate about the fairness of and procedures involved in elections. But an election is only as fair and transparent as the workers who staff the polls. Fred will cover the basics of everything you wanted to know about becoming a paid poll worker and insuring the dignity, fairness and orderliness of the election process. We will also explain step by step how to sign up for such a position, what the payment is, and answer all other basic questions.
Please join us on October 6 th for what promises to be an informative and exciting presentation. Your help is critically needed, and we hope to see you.
Survey of Reclaim Stakeholders
Over the past six months Reclaim has engaged in several surveys of concerned citizens in New York State. The Surveys were a resounding success in terms of learning more about Reclaim's base and how Reclaim can help New Yorkers make their government more transparent and accountable. Thank you!
The surveys yielded an above average level of input, attention, engagement, and activism compared to other groups and not for profit organizations. In addition, given the unusually high numbers of Reclaimers who stated that they are registered to vote, it appears that Reclaim New York represents one of the larger, most dedicated voting blocks in the State.
On behalf of all of us at Reclaim, thank you.
