De Blasio Makes $20 Million Available to BOE to Implement Reforms

Apr 25, 2016 · by Sarah Gonzalez
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday he'll make close to $20 million in "incentive funding" available to the City Board of Elections — if the agency agrees to implement a series of reforms he's proposing.

The announcement comes after WNYC's Brigid Bergin found thousands of Democratic voters in Brooklyn had been dropped from voter rolls after poll workers fell behind on maintaining voter data. Widespread complaints were then reported during last Tuesday's election by voters who said they were turned away at their polling station.
