New York A05382 mandates county boards of elections to inform voters of candidates before each election.

New York A05382 amends the election law to require county boards of elections to notify voters of each candidate to be voted on in every election. This notification must occur prior to each election and can be done via email if the voter's email is available, or by mailing a postcard to each household with a registered voter. If the board cannot mail the postcard six days before the election, it must be sent as soon as possible before the election. The act will take effect 180 days after it becomes law.
