Díaz and Sepúlveda to Announce Push for Key Voter Registration and Elections Reforms

On April 26 at 11 a.m., on the steps of City Hall in New York City, Assembly Member Luis Sepúlveda and Senator Rubén Diaz will hold a news conference to introduce legislation to make it a felony for boards of elections to dump or archive voters from registration rolls, requiring that such removals only be made upon confirmation either of the death of a voter or the out-of-state relocation of a voter, and to require boards of elections to notify voters by email, whenever possible, of changes in in polling sites. 

Sepúlveda and Diaz will also announce their support of legislation to provide for automatic registration of voters when they apply for or renew their driver’s license or non-driver ID (with the option for persons to opt out of becoming registered) and to allow voters to change party registration as easily and under the identical criteria applicable for new voter registration.
