A 6877 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires any student graduating from a high school in New York state be provided with a voter registration form

This bill requires all New York high school graduates - both public and private - to receive a voter registration form at graduation. Schools must provide the standard registration form and send completed applications to local election boards within 10 days before elections (or as soon as possible if received later). The law mandates strict privacy protections, prohibits discouraging voter registration, and requires schools to maintain neutrality about political party enrollment. It directly affects every high school graduate in New York state by making voter registration accessible at a key life transition point.
