Many events are canceled in New York, but the scheduled presidential primary voting date hasn't changed.

Board of Election Commissioners across the state say it needs to change now. The State Election Commissioners' Association says primary day should be postponed from April 28 to June 23.

"We have election workers who don't want to work. We have polling places who don't want us to be there. We have this stay at home order that we don't know when that's going to be lifted," said Onondaga County BOE Democratic Deputy Commissioner Dustin Czarny.

"We've got no time at all to plan for this election. Things are so fluid that the best way to do it is to punt to June and a little wishful thinking and hope that the climate comes down, and we will be able to successfully be able to execute an election like we're used to doing," said Herkimer County BOE Democratic Deputy Commissioner Robert Drumm.

Of course, it would be a little different if the date changes.

"While there will be challenges with staying home, combining ballots, combining different elections, those are challenges that we'll have time to resolve as opposed to challenges that are upon us right now," Czarny said.

Common Cause New York is supporting the idea to postpone to June. While the group doesn't believe mailing ballots is a good move right now, it's offering another suggestion.

"We don't have the infrastructure for it in New York State, but rather to have a stopgap measure of significantly loosening the requirements for absentee ballots," said Common Cause New York Executive Director Susan Lerner.

The State Election Commissioners' Association wants state leaders to allow absentee balloting throughout the state of emergency due to the coronavirus. They also want local boards of elections to consolidate polling places and election districts.
