Thousands of New Yorkers held in jail pretrial or on misdemeanors never lost their right to vote but face systemic barriers that keep them from casting ballots. The DDDA ensures equal access to the ballot by establishing uniform, accountable processes.

This bill makes Boards of Elections—not jails or volunteers—responsible for voter access, just as they already do in nursing homes. DDDA is about protecting civil rights and strengthening democracy for all.

The Democracy During Detention Act (S440/A2121) ensures that every eligible New Yorker in jail can register and vote. Thousands of people detained pretrial or on misdemeanors never lost their rights but face systemic barriers to the ballot.

Election Day reminds us how powerful access to the ballot is.
But across New York, thousands of eligible voters in local jails couldn’t participate — not because they lost the right to vote, but because the system made it nearly impossible to use it.
