A 7804 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Changes party enrollment of voters where the enrolled party contained the word "Independence" or "Independent"

This bill changes voter registration by automatically removing individuals from any political party if their enrolled party name includes "Independence" or "Independent" (e.g., "Independence Party"). It directly affects voters registered with such parties, transitioning them to "no party enrollment" status. The law requires election officials to update these records without requiring voter action. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment. This is a procedural adjustment to voter registration rules, not a substantive policy change.
