        AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to allowing pre-registered

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.   Section 5-102 of the election law is amended by adding a
     2  new subdivision 3 to read as follows:
     3     3. A person who is pre-registered to vote pursuant to  section  5-507
     4  of  this article, and who is or will be eighteen years of age or over on
     5  the day of such election at the time such ballot is  cast  and  counted,
     6  shall  be  considered  a  qualified  voter  for the purposes of absentee
     7  voting and early mail voting as set forth in titles four  and  seven  of
     8  article eight of this chapter.
     9    §  2.  Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdi-
    10  vision, section or part of this act shall be adjudged by  any  court  of
    11  competent  jurisdiction  to  be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,
    12  impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall  be  confined  in
    13  its  operation  to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section
    14  or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
    15  ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
    16  the legislature that this act would  have  been  enacted  even  if  such
    17  invalid provisions had not been included herein.
    18    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
