AI Summary
This bill allows voters to optionally provide their email address when registering to vote, meaning that official notices and communications from the state board of elections will be sent via email in addition to traditional postal mail. Furthermore, county boards of elections and the board of elections for New York City will also have the option to send these required notices and communications by email, in addition to postal mail, to voters who have provided an email address. This change aims to modernize voter communication by offering an electronic option for receiving important election-related information.
