Councilman Ben Kallos (CD5, D-Manhattan) will introduce legislation to allow would-be voters to register online. The bill would require the City Board of Elections to create a secure website to allow voters to register using the same form that is now sent by mail.
“We hope to have a city where everyone who is eligible can vote easily,” Kallos said. “We make it really hard to register, really hard to vote, and we can make it a lot easier.”
Only the State Department of Motor Vehicles can sign up voters electronically, a process that requires additional identification.
States that have moved to online registration have also cut costs, with the price per voter going from 83 cents to 3 cents in Arizona, Kallos said.
