This bill would require that the New York City Department of Education provide voter registration forms and materials on voting methods and accessibility options for voters to seniors in New York City schools. The New York City Board of Elections would also be required to code these registration forms so that it can track which forms come back from the Department of Education. The bill also would require the Department of Education report annually on steps being taken to distribute voter registration forms and materials on voting methods and accessibility.
