Bill > A07263

This bill requires landlords or their agents to include a New York State Voter Registration Form with every lease signature package for tenants who are 18 years of age or older. Along with the voter registration form, the package must also provide information that directs tenants to the board of elections website. The purpose of this legislation is to make voter registration more accessible by ensuring that tenants receive voter registration materials at the same time they are completing their lease documentation. By integrating voter registration forms directly into the lease signing process, the bill aims to increase voter participation and make it easier for tenants to register to vote or update their voter registration information. The bill will take effect on the first day of January following its enactment, giving landlords time to adjust their lease signature package procedures to comply with the new requirement.
