                    IN SENATE
 
                                      July 15, 2020
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  Sen. BRESLIN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules
 
        AN ACT to amend the election  law,  in  relation  to  requiring  munici-
          palities  with  the highest population in each county to have at least
          one polling place designated for early voting
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision 2 of section 8-600 of the
     2  election law, as added by chapter 6 of the laws of 2019, is  amended  to
     3  read as follows:
     4    (a)  The  board  of elections shall designate polling places for early
     5  voting, which may include the offices of the  board  of  elections,  for
     6  persons  to  vote  early pursuant to this title; provided, however, that
     7  the municipality with the highest population in each county based on the
     8  latest federal decennial census shall have at least  one  polling  place
     9  designated for early voting, and to the extent practicable if such muni-
    10  cipality  has  public transportation routes, such polling place shall be
    11  situated along such transportation routes. There shall be so  designated
    12  at  least  one  early  voting  polling place for every full increment of
    13  fifty thousand registered voters in each county; provided, however,  the
    14  number  of early voting polling places in a county shall not be required
    15  to be greater than [seven] ten unless required by any other provision of
    16  law, and a county with fewer than fifty thousand voters  shall  have  at
    17  least one early voting polling place.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect January 1, 2021.
