§ 5-800. Electronic voter registration transmittal system. In addition

to any other means of voter registration provided for by this chapter,

the state board of elections shall establish and maintain an electronic

to register to vote online. The state board of elections shall

electronically transmit such applications to the applicable board of

elections of each county or the city of New York for filing, processing

and verification consistent with this chapter. In accordance with

board of elections shall maintain a voter registration system capable of

receiving and processing voter registration application information,

including electronic signatures, from the electronic voter registration

transmittal system established by the state board of elections.

Notwithstanding any other inconsistent provision of this chapter,

applications filed using such system shall be considered filed with the

applicable board of elections on the calendar date the application is

initially transmitted by the voter through the electronic voter

registration transmittal system.
