Clarifies the qualification to receive an absentee ballot and clarifies the process for delivery of an absentee ballot

This bill updates New York State election laws to clarify who qualifies for an absentee ballot and how those ballots are delivered. It requires election boards to mail or hand-deliver ballots to voters at their registered home, current temporary address, or a designated person, while prohibiting candidates from receiving ballots for others. The law also mandates that designated recipients sign a formal certificate stating they have not received more than two ballots and are not running for office. Additionally, it ensures that every absentee ballot includes a prepaid return envelope and specifies that ballots sent outside the U.S. must be mailed by air.
