A 8126 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Warns voters about New York's closed primary system on voter registration forms

Bill A 8126 modifies New York's election law concerning voter registration forms. It mandates that these forms include a new, bold, and prominent warning for voters. This warning clarifies that New York operates a closed primary system. It also states that voters must be enrolled in a specific political party to participate in that party's primary election, unless state party rules dictate otherwise. This change aims to inform all registering voters about primary election enrollment requirements.
