Bill would let New Yorkers register to vote online
New Yorkers would finally be able to register to vote with a click of a mouse under a bill to be introduced in the City Council.
Councilman Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan) will introduce legislation to allow would-be voters to register online.
Currently, the Board of Elections requires paper registration forms to be mailed in the old fashioned way.
“We hope to have a city where everyone who is eligible can vote easily,” Kallos said. “We make it really hard to register, really hard to vote, and we can make it a lot easier.”
