Bill > A09073

This bill amends the New York election law to modify the timing of voter enrollment changes. Currently, voter enrollment changes received by the board of elections after February 14th and before or on the date of the June primary take effect on the seventh day after the June primary. The bill replaces this provision, instead stipulating that such changes will take effect on the seventh day after the last day to file a certificate of nomination made at a caucus. This means that voter enrollment changes made during a specific timeframe will now be delayed until a different reference point, potentially affecting a voter's ability to participate in upcoming elections. The bill will take effect 60 days after becoming law, and election officials are authorized to make any necessary regulatory adjustments in preparation for the new rule.
