The New York Civil Liberties Union and Common Clause of New York both applaud passage of the bill that will finally end of prison-based gerrymandering in New York.

• NYCLU Applauds State Legislature for Ending Prison-Based Gerrymandering: “The strength of your vote shouldn’t depend on if your legislative district contains a prison or not, and the passage of this provision brings fairness to voting in New York.”
• Common Cause/NY Applauds Passage of Measure Ending Prison-Based Gerrymandering: “Righting This Historical Wrong Is the First Step Towards Reforming Our State’s Redistricting Process.”
