Relates to voting rights

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to strengthen voting rights by banning specific voter restrictions. It directly affects all voters in New York, prohibiting requirements like literacy tests, educational proof, poll taxes, photo ID mandates, citizenship verification for registration, and "good moral character" checks. The amendment also protects third-party voter registration efforts from state interference. If passed, it would eliminate seven common barriers that disproportionately impact marginalized communities. The bill is currently under review by the Judiciary Committee.
