Relates to town elections and permissive referendums

This bill updates New York town election laws to clarify how residents can request votes on specific proposals, including those related to raising money or abolishing ward systems. It establishes specific rules for when these petitions must be filed to ensure they appear on the next general election ballot or trigger a special election within a set timeframe. The legislation also defines the number of voter signatures needed to launch these votes based on the town's size and the last governor election results. Additionally, it sets a timeline for when town board actions can take effect, requiring a public vote if a sufficient number of voters file a petition to protest the decision. Finally, the bill outlines how town council member terms are structured if a town decides to eliminate its ward system.
