The New York City Board of Elections is admitting it broke state and
federal law when it improperly removed voters from the rolls ahead of
the presidential primary last spring, including more than 117,000 voters
in Brooklyn.
That’s according to a draft consent decree announced Tuesday— nearly a
year after the Board was sued in federal court for violating the
National Voter Registration Act and state election law.
The Brooklyn voter purge was first reported by WNYC just days before last spring’s primary election.
As a part of the settlement, the Board agreed to a series of remedial
measures that will be in place at least through the next presidential
election, November 2020 — pending court approval. The deal restores the
rights of improperly purged voters and establishes a comprehensive plan
to prevent illegal voter purges in future elections.
