A 6438 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the re-enfranchisement of voters with felony convictions; repealer

This bill removes a disqualification for voting based on felony convictions by repealing specific sections of election law. It directly affects individuals with felony convictions who were previously barred from voting due to these disqualifications. The key mechanism is the deletion of language in voter registration rules that listed felony convictions as a reason for canceling registration. The bill makes it so that a felony conviction no longer automatically disqualifies someone from voting under state election law. This change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
