S 6072 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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, universities, public housing authorities, or unemployment offices) if they consent to registration. It requires these agencies to electronically share basic voter information (name, address, birthdate, citizenship) with election boards, updating or creating voter records without requiring separate forms. The law directly affects New York residents who use these participating services, making voter registration more accessible during routine government interactions. Key provisions include strict privacy safeguards for citizenship data, mandatory neutrality training for agency staff, and requirements for secure data transmission to election officials.
