Maddy summaryThis bill proposes amending the state constitution to require that only U.S. citizens may vote in elections. It would replace the current voting eligibility language with a specific provision stating "Only citizens shall be entitled to vote," while maintaining existing requirements that voters must be at least 18 years old and residents of the state and their local area for 30 days prior to an election. The key change directly affects voting eligibility by restricting the right to vote to citizens, removing any existing non-citizen voting provisions. If passed, this would be a constitutional change, not a temporary law, requiring approval through the standard amendment process.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a constitutional process allowing New York voters to remove elected state officials through a recall. It requires petition signatures equal to 20% of voters in the previous election for that office (with county-specific minimums), followed by a special election 70-90 days after petition certification. If a majority votes to remove the official, they are removed immediately, and the office is filled by special election within six months (with the removed official barred from running again). The process applies to state senators, assembly members, and statewide officials (like governor), but excludes judges and prohibits recalls within six months of a previous attempt.
