BUFFALO, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo introduced his Democracy Agenda on Thursday, a comprehensive election and voting reform package for New York.

"I absolutely think that all of the elements of this proposal are ripe for acting on right now," Assemblywoman Monica Wallace, D-Lancaster, said.

Among the proposals, Cuomo addressed internet campaign advertising which unlike television, radio, and print, currently does not require disclosures about who paid for it.

"I think people are just starting to recognize how powerful of a marketing tool social media is and in light of that, we now know that we need to kind of capture that into the regulation because right now there's just sort of a glaring emotion," she said.

The governor also cited Russian attempts to hack other states' voting systems in 2016 as a reason to strengthen cyber security at polling places. His legislation would provide state resources and staff to help county Boards of Elections to be better prepared for threats and would require them to report any data breaches.

"It's better to be proactive," Wallace said. "What I mean by that is to shore up any potential avenues for hacking, make sure that our Board of Elections officials are prepared in the event of a cyber-attack or some kind of unforeseen election event."

The final portion of the State of the State proposal called for the advancement of measures like early-voting, automatic registration and same-day registration. Wallace acknowledged these are ideas that have not gained enough traction in past sessions, but she believes 2018 could be the year.

"The governor coming out there and being at the forefront of this, I applaud him for doing that," she said. "I think that it shows that it's something that is obviously a priority for him and like I said, I think all of these measures are really good measures and I really support them."
