Due to a legal loophole, August's primary currently would allow registered voters to change parties up through the day of the election.
Voting booths at P.S. 138 in Crown Heights, which serves as a poll site.That’s the goal of the New York State Board of Elections, which approved a motion on Wednesday to ask Acting State Supreme Court Justice Patrick McAllister to halt party changes ahead of the August 23rd primary.about a little-known loophole that would allow any registered voter to switch parties up until and on Primary Day.
Still, the request for McAllister to change the current rules did not have unanimous support from the four state BOE commissioners. In a hastily called, six-and-half minute public meeting to authorize the request to the judge, Democratic Co-chair Douglas Kellner expressed his opposition to the motion.
That concern for changing the rules so close to the election was overruled by the other three commissioners, including the other Democratic commissioner, Andrew Spano, and both Republican commissioners — co-chair Peter Kosinski and Anthony Casale.
