Bill > S02345

This bill requires the New York State Board of Elections to participate in the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, which is administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency. The purpose of this program is to verify the citizenship status of individuals who are either currently registered to vote or in the process of registering to vote. The bill authorizes the State Board of Elections to share and transmit all relevant personal information provided by a voter or potential voter to the USCIS for citizenship verification purposes, regardless of any existing laws, rules, or regulations that might otherwise restrict such information sharing. By participating in the SAVE program, the bill aims to ensure that only United States citizens are registered and allowed to vote in New York State elections, thereby maintaining the integrity of the electoral process and preventing potential voter fraud by non-citizens.
