Agencies assisting eligible parolees with voter registration.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to agencies assisting eligible parolees with voter registration

This bill would require the Voter Assistance Advisory Committee to develop and distribute guidance for agencies covered by the Agency Based Voter Registration law on the voting rights of formerly incarcerated persons. It would also require such agencies, as part of their required assistance in completing voter registration forms, to, upon request by a parolee applicant, check if such applicant has had their voting rights restored.
