Enacts the "Modernized voter registration act of New York"
This bill automatically registers eligible New York voters when they interact with designated state agencies (like the DMV, public housing authorities, or unemployment offices) if they consent, updating or creating voter records without requiring separate registration. It mandates that these agencies electronically share basic personal information (name, address, date of birth, and citizenship status) with election officials to maintain accurate voter rolls. The law requires agencies to remain neutral - never discouraging registration - and prohibits using citizenship data for purposes beyond voter registration. This affects all New York residents who use these state services and are eligible to vote, streamlining registration while protecting privacy.
