Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to repeal subdivision 8 of section 4-104 of the election law, relating to the amount paid to lease a polling station
Purpose
To provide clarification in regard to fee charged for the use of accessible poll sites.
Summary of provisions
Section one of this repeals subdivision 8 of § 4-104 of the Election law.
Section two is the effective date (Immediately).
Justification
The provision to be repealed allowed for the amounts which may be paid for the use of poll sites to be different, distinguishing higher costs for those sites which are accessible and lesser amounts for those sites not deemed accessible. In that federal and state law requires that all poll sites be accessible, there is no longer any need for such distinction. Additionally, by not repealing this provision there may remain confusion among election administrators concerning the designation of accessible poll sites, without exception.
