NY A10943

Requires boards of elections to notify voters within one day of determining an affidavit ballot is defective, with written notice explaining the deficiency and cure procedure.

Mandates boards contact voters by email or telephone when such contact information is available to inform them of the deficiency and cure opportunity.

Allows voters to cure defects by filing a signed affirmation attesting to required information and confirming they submitted the original ballot, using a board-provided form.

Sets a deadline of seven business days after mailing of the rejection notice for voters to file cure affirmations; approved cures result in reinstatement and canvassing of the ballot.

Requires notification by mail within three business days when a defect is determined to be non-curable; directs the state board of elections to promulgate implementing rules.
