ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York Civil Liberties Union is suing to require a suburban county to offer more early voting hours this weekend to reduce wait times and provide additional signs offering accommodations for voters with disabilities who face long waits in line.

Civil rights advocates want Rockland County to keep polls open past 5 p.m. Friday to 9 p.m., and to extend voting Saturday and Sunday by three hours, so they close at 5 p.m. rather than 2 p.m. The NYCLU filed the suit Thursday in the Supreme Court of the County of Rockland on behalf of the Spring Valley and Nyack branches of the NAACP and several individual voters.

NYCLU senior staff attorney Perry Grossman said the county isn't abiding by New York regulations requiring county boards to provide accommodations for voters with disabilities and ensure voters don't wait more than 30 minutes.

The group's lawsuit cites resident Glena Davis, 72, who said she's unable to stand in line due to a hip replacement. She said she's driven to her polling location several times a day to check out lines that have wrapped around the buildings.

“When I was at the early voting site, I never saw any sort of sign posted that people with disabilities or the elderly could go to the front of the line, but I have seen several people with canes standing at the end of the long line,” she said. "If I’m not able to vote early, I may not be able to on Election Day.”

Westchester, Onondoga and Schenectady counties have extended early voting hours this weekend in hopes of reducing wait times.

Commissioner of Elections Kristen Zebrowski Stavisky said the county planned to add signs Friday, and said county lawyers and the NYCLU were in court discussing whether hours will be extended.

She said she's been pushing for increased hours and an additional polling site for this week.

“I am hopeful that we will have a positive outcome with the hours,” she said.

About 11% of Rockland County's 210,000 registered voters cast early votes through Thursday. Election Day is Tuesday.

Statewide, more than one million voters have returned absentee ballots and 1.6 million have voted early through Thursday, according to the state board of elections.

In the 2016 presidential election, New Yorkers cast 7.8 million votes. The state has about 11.7 million active registered voters.
