Authorizes early voting sites to be placed at at least one city in a county, or if there is no city in such county, the county seat
This bill requires counties to establish at least one early voting location in either the largest city (or highest-population municipality, based on the latest census) within the county, or in the county seat if no city exists. It specifically mandates that such locations must be placed along public transportation routes where feasible. The provision applies to all counties except Washington County, which retains its existing requirement for the county seat. This change standardizes early voting access points across New York counties without altering voting eligibility or procedures.
