New York Court of Appeals
George L. Clark, Jr.
October 22, 198566 N.Y.2d 185
Summary
The Court affirmed that Governor Cuomo's Executive Order No. 43, establishing a voter registration task force and making registration forms available at state agencies, does not violate the New York Constitution's separation of powers or the bipartisan representation requirement, and upheld the injunction prohibiting the provision of locked receptacles for completed forms. Justice Jasen dissented, arguing the order usurps legislative authority.
