As we've previously noted, the departure of Executive Director Ravitz from the New York City Board of Elections could hardly come at a more critical time.

As we also noted, the City Board does not have a stellar record when it comes to conducting open, national searches for this important position -- or for establishing parameters on hiring that will ensure the Executive Director can be held accountable by the public and the City Board itself.
With that in mind, 15 organizations (including the Brennan Center) have sent this letter to the Board.
