Brooklyn’s 7th Municipal District Judicial Candidate, Duane Frankson has posted a fresh official article in his Newsroom at NYCNewswire.com. The article provides vital updates to help voters get ready for the next election. Frankson discusses voter registration steps, essential deadline dates, and offers resources tailored for communities with voting challenges. He stresses the importance that every qualified voter should double-check registration, learn their voting rights, and prepare for Election Day.
Prepare to Cast Your Vote
National Voter Registration Day (NVRD), an annual nonpartisan event dedicated to democracy, lands on September 16, 2025. NVRD, started in 2012, motivates Americans to participate with voter registration events and civic activities.
National Voter Registration Week of Action
NVRD is an element of the National Voter Registration Week of Action (September 15–21), a highlight of Michelle Obama’s 2018 When We All Vote campaign. This campaign works to increase voting rates and civic involvement in every election cycle.
These events let all eligible Americans get registered ahead of deadlines. Under New York’s Election Law, residents must have lived in both state and local area for at least 30 days before voting day to qualify for registration.
Crucial Deadlines for NY Voters

- October 25 – November 2, 2025: The early voting window
- November 4, 2025: It’s Election Day
Voting Rights After Felony Conviction
Since 2021, people in New York with felony convictions are allowed to vote after their release from prison, whether or not they are on parole. If you are not currently behind bars and satisfy all other voting requirements, you are eligible. Restore Your Vote estimates millions nationwide are newly eligible but not always informed.
Ballot Safeguards
Victims of domestic violence may request confidential voter status and private ballot access through their county board, safeguarding their data from the public.
Widening Voter Access
Despite improvements in New York, barriers to voting exist—especially among people who are homeless or lack stable housing, who are frequently uncounted in elections.
Homelessness does not take away your vote. Barriers exist, but help is available at Vote.gov or through the nearest election office.
Get Involved Now
With Election Day fast approaching, now is the moment to update registrations and encourage friends and family to do the same.
