Bill > A01416

This bill requires the New York State Board of Elections to develop and implement a comprehensive voter notification program to help inform voters about potential changes to their electoral districts resulting from redistricting. The program must provide multiple methods of communication to assist voters in understanding how redistricting might affect their representation, including mailings, online resources, telephone support, and other communication channels. The goal is to help voters easily determine who their potential representatives might be prior to an election, ensuring that citizens remain informed about potential shifts in their political boundaries. The bill will take effect immediately, allowing the State Board of Elections to begin preparing and implementing the notification program right away. By mandating these notification efforts, the bill aims to increase voter awareness and engagement by helping residents understand how redistricting might impact their electoral landscape.
