Who we are

Founded by Bo Lipari, NYVV is a non-partisan, not-for-profit corporation of New York State, educating and organizing on issues surrounding voting and elections in the 21st century.*

With organized advocacy and education, our goal is to ensure that all eligible citizens can vote, and that their votes will be accurately counted. New Yorkers for Verified Voting is more than the sum of its parts. While each of us alone may powerfully express our shared concerns, expressing our concerns together, we are more powerful.

This new era of computerized intervention in the voting process presents many dangers and challenges to citizens in a democracy. The fight for verified voting is gaining momentum. We are coordinating and working with citizens all over New York State on these important issues. Please use our web site to stay informed, or if you want to get more involved, contact us at: contact@NYVV.org.

Board of Directors

NYVV Financial Disclaimer

NYVV has absolutely no financial or other vested interest in any voting equipment manufacturer, vendor, or their representatives. Our officers and Board of Directors own no stock, receive no salary or commissions, and accept no contributions, gifts, trips, or favors from any voting machine vendor or lobbying firms they have hired, regardless of what type of equipment they manufacture or promote.

Our interest in this issue has solely to do with our concern for transparent, accurate, and verifiable elections. As citizens of New York State, we share the concerns about DREs with many computer professionals and others around the United States. We believe that optical scanners are a better choice because they are a more reliable, accurate, auditable and cost effective voting system.

Our involvement in this advocacy work comes from our belief that in a democracy, citizens must speak up and take an active role.
