De Blasio Signs Bill to Enable Online Voter Registration
New York City’s mayor has signed legislation to enable all city voters to register online.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said the bill he signed Saturday is one step toward fixing the city’s “antiquated” electoral system.
Under the new legislation, the city will create an online portal for voters to register or update their registration. The City Council passed the bill last month.
