Bill > A01569

This bill amends the election law to require boards of elections to include additional information in their annual reports about voter registration efforts. Specifically, the bill mandates that these reports now must detail the number of voter registration forms distributed to and returned by each agency that assists with voter registration (as defined in section 5-211 of the election law). Importantly, the bill explicitly prohibits the collection or inclusion of personally identifiable information about the registrants in this report, which helps protect individual privacy while still providing transparency about voter registration outreach efforts. The purpose appears to be tracking the effectiveness of voter registration assistance programs without compromising the personal information of those who register to vote. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
