NY S00630

State Board of Elections must establish and maintain a secure website or web portal allowing registered voters to track their absentee ballot application and ballot status without requiring account creation.

Tracking website must display whether a voter's board of elections has received their absentee request, approved or rejected the request, mailed the ballot, received the completed ballot, and counted or rejected the ballot, with brief rejection statements if applicable.

County boards of elections must electronically transmit absentee ballot data to the State Board of Elections in a format and timeframe determined by the state board.

Website is restricted to showing voters only their own ballot information and cannot be used to provide information about other voters' ballots.

County boards of elections and New York City Board of Elections may establish their own tracking systems until the state system becomes operational.
