Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the election law, in relation to employment of election inspectors
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow the local boards of elections to utilize election inspectors for half-day shifts
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends section 3-400 of the election law to authorize local boards of elections to employ election inspectors to work half-day shifts, provided that at least one inspector from each of the two major political parties is present at the poll site for the entire time that the polls are open.
Justification
The adoption of new voting machines pursuant to the federal Help America Vote Act and New York laws implementing HAVA, requires that local boards of elections have flexibility when employing election inspectors. This bill provides such flexibility without requiring the use of half-day election inspectors.
Fiscal implication
EFFECTIVE DATE : This act shall take effect immediately.
