A 5007 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to enabling constitutionally-qualified electors to register to vote and to cast a ballot on the same day at a polling location

This bill allows eligible voters in New York to register to vote and cast their ballots on the same day at early voting or election day polling locations. To do this, a voter would fill out an affidavit form at the polling place, which serves as a temporary registration that becomes official only after election officials verify the voter's identity and eligibility using state and federal databases. If the information cannot be immediately verified, officials may still issue a voter ID number and accept the ballot, provided the voter meets other legal requirements. The bill requires election boards to offer this process at all early voting and election day sites while ensuring ballot secrecy and proper handling before the votes are counted.
