Bill > A05321

This bill amends the Correction Law to require the chief administrative officer of a local correctional facility to notify any person 18 years of age or older upon their discharge from the facility of their right to vote. The bill also requires the officer to provide the person with a voter registration form and written information from the board of elections on the importance and mechanics of voting. This is intended to ensure that individuals released from local jails are aware of their voting rights and have the necessary information to participate in the electoral process.
