New York shares voter records with safeguards

New York’s representative must share voter names, addresses, birth dates, voter IDs, DMV IDs, and last four Social Security digits with its member group. Shared records also include last registration dates, group-defined activity dates, voting history, and information received from the DMV. The DMV may supply names, addresses, IDs, last four Social Security digits, birth dates, record status, phone numbers, and emails. DMV sharing requires membership terms consistent with the specified vehicle and election laws or reciprocal recognition of vehicle registrations. The DMV must not knowingly share information about noncitizens. The board must not share confidential voter program records, and the law does not require DMV disclosure of those records.

New York joins interstate voter-list groups

Effective immediately, New York must promptly join one or more multistate voter-list groups and complete registration by July 31, 2026. The Board of Elections pays membership fees, dues, and related costs; the Electronic Registration Information Center or its successor is an authorized option. New York’s chief election official represents the state, and leaving a group requires an affirmative vote by election commissioners. The board must use group information for voter-list maintenance and can issue rules to carry out the law. Mailings to potentially eligible, unregistered people must explain registration rules, including citizenship requirements.
