Bill > A00972

This bill makes several changes to deadlines for voter registration in New York. The key provisions are: - Reduces the deadline to change an address for voter registration from 20 days before an election to 15 days before an election. - Reduces various other voter registration deadlines from 25 days before an election to 10 or 15 days before an election, including deadlines for completing voter registration, changing party enrollment, and applying for military/special federal ballots. - Requires boards of elections to verify voter identities within 7 days instead of 21 days, and to send notices to voters sooner. - Makes other technical changes to voter registration processes and deadlines. The bill aims to shorten the timeframes for certain voter registration procedures, potentially making it easier for voters to register and participate in elections. The changes are intended to take effect at the same time as a recent law updating voter registration requirements.
