Warn Voters About Closed Primary Registration Deadlines

✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill would require New York voter registration forms to clearly warn people about the state's closed primary system, where only registered party members can vote in that party's primary election. The warning would help voters understand that if they register without choosing a party, or choose the wrong party, they may not be able to vote in primary elections. This aims to prevent voters from being surprised or shut out on primary election day.
