Summary
SBOE staff told commissioners that 432,230 New Yorkers have used the online registration portal since deployment, outlined a clearinghouse phase plan to electronically transmit registrations to counties, and detailed ongoing ADR and cybersecurity coordination with federal partners.
SBOE staff reported on Feb. 25 that, since online voter‑registration deployment on May 31, 2023, 432,230 New Yorkers had used the online portals — about 180,846 through New York City and 251,384 through the state board — with 36,645 new registrations since the last unit report.
Staff described a phased plan to complete a clearinghouse so agencies can electronically transmit registrations directly to county boards (phase 1 targeted for mid‑2025) and said agencies are working with ITS on ADR implementation and wider software enhancements. Staff also briefed commissioners on frequent coordination with federal cybersecurity partners and recent tabletop exercises and noted an ongoing federal review of election security programs through March 6.
