Title of bill
An act to amend the election law, in relation to delivery of paper ballots and repealing certain provisions of such laws relating thereto
Purpose
This bill repeals Election Law section 8-310 to eliminate the antiquated processes therein, and amends Election Law section 8-312 to allows the State Board to promulgate rules and regulations for the manner of delivery of paper ballots to the voter.
Section 1: Repeals Election Law section 8-310, which pertains to the manner of delivery of paper ballots to voters.
Section 2: Amends Election Law section 8-312 to add a new subdivision 6, which authorizes the state board of elections to adopt rules and regulations for the manner of delivery of paper ballots to the voter.
Section 3: Provides for the Act to take effect immediately.
Existing law
New bill.
Justification
The processes found in Election Law section 8-310 are outdated and no longer serve the needs of elections administrators and election day workers.
Amending section 8-312 by adding a new subdivision 6 authorizes the State Board of Elections to promulgate and modify regulations as necessary as new voting systems are deployed throughout the state. This will ensure common practices across the State, including with respect to ballot accountability, security and chain of custody.
