A 10081 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes electronic submission of absentee ballots

This bill authorizes New York State to establish an electronic system for submitting marked absentee ballots, specifically for three groups: voters living outside the U.S. (while retaining NY voting eligibility), military voters, and voters with disabilities who cannot independently mark paper ballots. It requires the State Board of Elections to create a secure system for electronic submission via email or online, with ballots considered filed on the date transmitted. The system must meet accessibility standards (WCAG Level AA) and process ballots including digital signatures, while maintaining paper ballot submission as the default method for all other voters.
