Albany’s municipal flag project is developing an online system for submitting designs and eventually voting. Submissions are expected to undergo checks for AI use, similarity to existing symbols, and inappropriate content, but staff can still review submissions flagged by those tools. The task force continued working through voter-residency verification, youth participation, accessibility, and outreach plans before launch.
