In relation to enrollment eligibility for election officials in the address confidentiality program
This bill expands eligibility for New York's Address Confidentiality Program to include election officers, allowing them to use a designated address instead of their home address to protect their privacy. The legislation requires the Secretary of State to designate specific agencies and county boards of elections to assist election officers in applying for the program, while also clarifying that the program does not require applicants to have left their residences due to violence to qualify. By adding election officers to the list of protected individuals alongside victims of domestic violence and reproductive health care providers, the law aims to enhance the safety and confidentiality of those working in election administration.
