A 3046 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to poll watchers for special, town or village elections being held for the sole purpose of a ballot proposal

This bill updates election rules to allow more poll watchers at special, town, or village elections held solely for ballot proposals. It permits the county board of elections to appoint watchers who support or oppose a ballot measure, ensuring these observers are selected in a way that fairly represents different viewpoints. The law also clarifies that party committees, independent groups, and political committees can each have up to three watchers per election district, with no more than one inside the voting area at a time. These changes aim to increase transparency and oversight during specific local elections focused on ballot initiatives.
