NY A04423

Amends absentee ballot voter statement forms in the Education Law and Town Law to add language clarifying that individuals who have completed their maximum sentence of imprisonment may vote by absentee ballot

Updates voter eligibility declarations for school district elections, special town elections, and district elections to include sentence expiration as a valid basis for restored voting rights

Previously, absentee ballot statements only referenced pardons, restoration of citizenship rights, or certificates of relief/good conduct as ways convicted individuals could regain voting eligibility

Adds "or my maximum sentence of imprisonment has expired" to the list of conditions under which a person convicted of bribery or infamous crime may certify their eligibility to vote

Takes effect immediately upon enactment
