NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A3622
 
SPONSOR: Tague
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the election law, in relation to requiring the county seat in Delaware county to have at least one polling place designated for early voting   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill will ensure that there is an accessible early voting site in Delhi, the county seat of Delaware County.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one of this bill adds the county seat in Delaware County to the list of locations required to have an early voting site. Section two provides the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Current law requires the municipality with the highest population in each county to host an early voting site. This requirement is not prac- tical in all cases depending on the geographical location of said muni- cipality in relation to the remainder of the county. This bill seeks to allow an early voting site in Delhi, the county seat in Delaware County, in order to make it easier for voters to participate in early voting. A similar exception has already been made in Washington County and for similar reasons.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2024 (Angelino): A5494 referred to Election Law 2023 (Angelino): A.5494 referred to Election Law 2022 (B. Miller): A.6879 held for consideration in Election Law 2021 (B. Miller): A.6879 referred to Election Law   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None to the State.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
