 Introduced by M. of A. R. CARROLL -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Election Law

 AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to allowing for polling
 place voter registration for any qualified person who is not regis-
 tered to vote

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 5-210 of the election law is amended by adding a
 2 new subdivision 1-a to read as follows:
 3 1-a. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article relating
 4 to registration requirements, any qualified person who is not registered
 5 in this state may apply personally for registration and enrollment by
 6 appearing at the appropriate polling place for the election district in
 7 which they reside on the day of any primary, general or special election
 8 during the hours that such polling place is open for voting, or at any
 9 polling place for early voting established pursuant to section 8-600 of
 10 this chapter in the county where they reside during the hours that such
 11 polling place is open for early voting. To be eligible to register
 12 pursuant to this subdivision, a person must provide acceptable forms of
 13 identification containing proof of residence, as determined by state law
 14 implementing the Help Americans Vote Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-252).
 15 Any person who so registers to vote shall execute the following instru-
 16 ment in substantially the following form:
 17 "I, (name), do hereby certify, under penalty of perjury, that, to the
 18 best of my knowledge, I am a qualified voter, having resided at (place
 19 of residence) for at least thirty days immediately preceding this
 20 election, that I am not disqualified on any legal grounds from voting
 21 and that I have not already voted at this election."
 22 (b) If a registrant is unable to provide valid proof of residence as
 23 required by paragraph (a) of this subdivision, such registrant may be
 24 allowed to register for and vote in any election by affidavit ballot.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 5 the appropriate polling place.
 6 § 2. This act shall take effect the first of January next succeeding
 7 the date on which it shall have become a law.
