Authorizes United States citizens currently residing outside the United States whose last residence in the United States was in the state of New York to vote in certain federal elections.

New York Assembly Bill A00366, introduced on January 8, 2025, aims to allow U.S. citizens who live abroad and whose last U.S. residence was in New York to vote in certain federal elections. This means that if you are a U.S. citizen living outside the country and your last home in the U.S. was in New York, you would be able to vote in federal elections like those for President and Congress.

Supporters of the bill argue that it strengthens democratic participation by ensuring that U.S. citizens living abroad can have their voices heard in federal elections. They believe it upholds the rights of expatriates and maintains their connection to the political process in the United States.

Critics express concerns about the potential for voter fraud and the challenges of verifying the eligibility of voters who reside outside the country. They also worry about the administrative burden on election officials and the integrity of the electoral process.
