Requires elections and terms of certain officials occur on even-numbered years

This bill (S 5851) would require elections for specific judicial and municipal officials to occur in even-numbered years. It directly affects judges of the supreme court, county courts, surrogate's courts, family courts (outside NYC), city supervisors, and county officials in cities, changing when their terms begin and end. Key provisions mandate that vacancies be filled at the next general election in an even-numbered year (held at least three months after the vacancy) and require all such officials' terms to expire at the end of an even-numbered year. The bill also specifies that temporary appointments for vacancies must last only until the next even-year election, aligning election cycles with statewide elections.
