Summary from NY Open Legislation. How we handle summaries

Amends the Election Law.

Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

To allow individuals qualified to register to vote, to complete a condi- tional registration and cast an affidavit ballot at an early voting pollsite, or at an election day poll site. SUMMARY: Section 1 amends Subdivision 3 of section 8-302 of the election law by adding four new paragraphs (0, (g), (h), and (i) which provides for conditional voter registration, and for electors to complete a condi- tional voter registration and cast an affidavit ballot. The conditional registration shall then be validated by the board of elections, and if the individual is deemed eligible to register, and their information can be validated in conjunction with the state DMV or federal SSA, then such ballot shall be canvassed. Section 2 sets the effective date.

The sponsor's argument

Why Jeremy Zellner says this is needed

This bill would allow individuals qualified to register to vote, who have missed the deadlines for voter registration prior to an election to complete a conditional voter registration and cast an affidavit ballot which would then he canvassed when such registration was deemed eligible and valid by the board of elections. This would enable thousands of individuals who would otherwise be ineligible to vote on election day, or during early voting the opportunity to vote. RACIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: TBD. GENDER JUSTICE IMPACT: TBD.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
