S 9796 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Changes the date of designation for election inspectors and poll clerks

This bill changes the schedule for appointing election inspectors and poll clerks in New York counties, moving the selection deadline from mid-July to January 1st each year. Under the new rules, county boards of elections must complete these appointments by the start of the year, and the terms for these officials will now end on December 31st instead of mid-July. Political parties retain the ability to submit lists of recommended candidates, but they must do so by November 15th rather than May 1st. The legislation also clarifies that these officials will serve until the end of the current year, allowing them to fill vacancies that occur after their initial appointment.
