A 7699 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires each certificate of death to also be filed with each board of elections within the state

This bill requires health departments to send monthly records of deceased voters to local election boards. Specifically, it mandates that health departments provide each election board with lists containing the name, address, birth date, and county of residence for every person of voting age whose death certificate was issued. These records must be sent in a mutually agreed format and organized by county. The law directly affects election boards and health departments by adding a new administrative step to update voter rolls. It does not change voting rules or eligibility but aims to improve the accuracy of voter registration lists by removing deceased individuals.
