Sec. 6217.3. Review of county voter registration systems

(a) Prior to sending data to the statewide list, any proposed county voter registration system must be approved by the State Board to ensure it meets the technical specifications promulgated by the State Board to interface with the official statewide voter registration list. For proposed systems, this approval must be obtained prior to the purchase or installation of the system.

(b) A county voter registration system must have the capability to:

(1) store information required in New York State Election Law and this Part;

(2) generate a list of registered voters in a county including their registration statuses;

(3) track information specific to single elections, including the issuance and return of absentee ballots; and

(4) store and provide images of signatures of registered voters.

(c) A county's voter registration system must conform to all of the requirements of state law and of these regulations, and if it does not, the State Board must notify the county board of the nature of the nonconformity. The county board must correct the nonconforming aspects of the county voter registration system and provide to the State Board such evidence of the change or changes in the system as that office may deem appropriate.

(d) NYSVoter shall ensure all data complies with the data standards for the database. County systems must be remediated so that all required data is sent to and received from the centralized database.
