Bill > A03649

This bill allows the New York State Board of Elections to join multistate voter list maintenance organizations, such as the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), to improve the accuracy of voter registration rolls. The bill requires the state to join such an organization by July 31, 2026, and authorizes the sharing of specific voter information with these organizations, including names, addresses, dates of birth, voter identification numbers, registration dates, and partial social security numbers. The state board of elections is mandated to use the information received from these organizations to maintain voter lists, ensuring that voter rolls are up-to-date by identifying voters who have moved, died, or may no longer be eligible to vote. The bill also authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide similar information to these organizations, with protections for confidential voter program participants. The goal is to reduce the potential for illegal voting, improve election integrity, and build public confidence in the electoral process by maintaining more accurate voter registration records across state lines.
