New York Officials Weigh Delaying April Primary Election Due to Coronavirus Outbreak - The New York Times 🔗 🗳🗽 🇺🇸 📰 🦠

Discussions to push back the state’s primary because of the coronavirus crisis came as several states that vote on Tuesday were cautiously moving ahead, and as Bernie Sanders voiced concerns.

Douglas A. Kellner, co-chair of the New York State Board of Elections, confirmed on Sunday that discussions were underway about the possibility of delaying the primary from April 28 to June 23 in the interest of containing the virus’s spread, but he added that no final decision had been reached. The decision ultimately would rest with the governor and the State Legislature, he said in an interview.
