A01565 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A1565A
 
SPONSOR: Simon
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the election law, in relation to establishing a deadline for changing the location of a polling place for an early voting period   PURPOSE OF BILL: Early voting place change notification.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: To amend the election law, in relation to establishing a deadline for changing the location of a polling palace for an early voting period.   JUSTIFICATION: Early voting (EV) has become more widely used in the past decade than ever before. When changes occur regarding the locations of EV sites it is important that citizens be notified in a timely manner prior to EV deadlines. Currently there is no law that standardizes the timeframe. The discrepancy needs to be fixed in our laws so that individuals have the information needed to participate in the voting process and are made aware of the physical locations of the EV sites in their voting districts.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2021-22: A.8364 Simon -referred to election law   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
