Relates to the terms of office of commissioners of elections

This bill increases the term of office for election commissioners in New York State from two years to four years. The change applies to all commissioners beginning January 1 of each odd-numbered year, with exceptions for New York City and Schenectady County (which already have four-year terms) and other counties that may choose to adopt four-year terms. The bill takes effect immediately but applies only to elections occurring on or after November 1, 2026. It directly affects election commissioners statewide by extending their service periods.
