Vote Now: Endorsement for Governor: *General* Election
~Ballot at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DFNYC2014
~You are eligible if you attended 2 DFNYC events since Nov. 2011
~Deadline is Friday, October 10th, at midnight.
After Labor Day, we made several endorsements in the 2014 primary and general elections in New York City. Due to the energy and attention around the governor's race, we informed our members that if the candidate that Democracy for NYC endorsed did not win the Sept. 9th primary, we would have another endorsement vote for the general election.
Choices:
Rob Astorino & Christopher Moss
Steve Cohn & Bobby Kalotee
Andrew Cuomo & Kathy Hochul
Howie Hawkins & Brian Jones
Michael McDermott & Chris Edes
No Endorsement (DFNYC Should not endorse in this race)

Ballot:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DFNYC2014
Eligibility & Process:
The same rules from the September endorsement vote apply to this revote. DFNYC members who have attended 2 events from Nov. 17th, 2011 to Tuesday, August 12, are eligible to vote. DFNYC is committed to the principle of the secret ballot. After getting feedback from our members in 2012, we moved to an online system, and we preserve anonymity by having trusted DFA activists from outside New York count the ballots. (In September's vote, one vote counter was a DFA activist while the other was not affiliate with DFA.) No one in DFNYC will see how any member voted.
