A 3338 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to designating early polling places

This bill amends New York's election law to establish rules for designating polling places. It prohibits public school buildings from being used as polling locations (including for "early voting" as referenced in the text) and requires election boards to prioritize public buildings when selecting sites. The bill also allows religious organizations to host polling places without requiring Saturday voter registration if it conflicts with their religious practices, and mandates accessible spaces for disabled voters in designated locations. These changes affect local election boards, municipalities, and polling place operators by standardizing site selection and accessibility requirements.
