Bill Summary
Provides for the inclusion, at a voter's option, of an e-mail address in the voter registration application and record, whereupon notices and other communication required to be sent to the voter by the state board of elections shall be sent by e-mail in addition to postal mail; provides that county boards of elections and the board of elections of the city of New York shall have the option of sending required notices and communications by e-mail in addition to postal mail to certain voters.
AI Summary
This bill allows voters to voluntarily provide their email address when registering to vote, meaning that official notices and communications from the state board of elections will be sent via email in addition to traditional postal mail. Furthermore, county election boards and the New York City board of elections will have the option to send these required notices and communications to voters via email, in addition to postal mail, if the voter has provided an email address. This change aims to modernize voter communication by offering an electronic option for receiving important election-related information.
