Bill > S05371

This bill requires the New York State Board of Elections to create and implement a comprehensive voter notification program for areas that have undergone redistricting. The program must provide multiple methods of informing voters about potential changes to their electoral districts, including mailings, online resources, telephone support, and other communication channels. The primary goal is to help voters understand how redistricting might affect their voting district and identify their potential new representatives before an election takes place. By mandating these notification efforts, the bill aims to ensure voters have access to critical information about changes in their electoral boundaries, which can help prevent confusion and improve voter participation. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and election officials are authorized to develop and prepare the necessary rules and regulations to implement the program in advance of its effective date.
