Establishes minimum staffing levels for certain local board of elections
What changed between versions
Staffing requirements now apply only to county boards of elections with over 10,000 active registered voters, excluding smaller boards and the city of New York.
The minimum staffing requirement is now four full-time employees inclusive of commissioners and deputies, rather than four employees in addition to commissioners.
The formula for calculating additional employees was simplified to two additional employees for every 20,000 active registered voters, removing the specific 40,000 voter threshold.
The deadline to meet minimum staffing levels was reduced from four years to three years from the effective date.
New co-sponsors Comrie, Fahy, Rivera, and Webb were added to the bill.
The bill title was updated to clarify that the law establishes minimum staffing levels for certain local boards of elections.
