Requires elections and terms of certain officials occur on even-numbered years
This bill (A 7369) changes election timing for certain judicial and municipal officials in New York State. It requires elections for state supreme court justices, county judges, city court judges (including NYC), and municipal officers like supervisors to occur only in even-numbered years, rather than odd-numbered years. Vacancies in these positions must be filled by appointment until the next even-year general election, with appointments expiring after December of the election year. The bill amends constitutional sections governing judicial elections (Article 4, Article 13) and municipal elections (Article 13), standardizing election cycles to align with statewide elections. It does not affect village-level judicial offices or school board elections.
