S 9802 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Requires boards of elections to provide certain notices prior to a change of polling place

This bill requires election boards to inform state and county party leaders and local elected officials at least five days before changing a voter's polling place. The law mandates that these notifications be sent by mail, with an alternative method used if mailing is not possible. Additionally, election boards must notify the relevant state assembly and senate representatives within five days of receiving a request to move a polling location. These changes aim to ensure that political parties and community leaders are aware of polling place adjustments before they occur.
