Relates to enacting the taxpayer voter registration act
This bill, the "Taxpayer Voter Registration Act," requires New York taxpayers to register to vote when filing income or property tax returns. It adds a checkbox to tax forms where taxpayers can indicate voter registration interest, accompanied by a sworn statement affirming citizenship, residency, and eligibility. Tax authorities will electronically share this information with election boards, which will then send eligible individuals a notice offering to register or update their voter status. The process is voluntary and applies to all taxpayers filing returns or changing addresses via real estate transfers.
