Requires elections and terms of certain officials occur on even-numbered years except in the city of New York

This bill amends the state constitution to require that most municipal and judicial elections occur in even-numbered years, with the specific exception of officials serving within New York City. Under the new rules, vacancies for judges and other elected officials outside New York would be filled at the next even-numbered general election, while appointments made to cover those gaps would be temporary, ending by December of that election year. The legislation also clarifies that the lieutenant governor must be elected at the same time as the governor and establishes that the temporary president of the senate would act as governor if both top offices become vacant simultaneously. By shifting election cycles for local and judicial roles, the bill aims to standardize when these officials are chosen across the state, excluding New York City from these specific timing changes.
