AI Summary
This bill amends the New York election law to establish an early voting period starting 8 days prior to any general, primary, or special election and ending 2 days before the election. It requires counties to designate polling places for early voting, with a minimum number of sites based on registered voters, and sets hours of operation, including at least 2 weekdays with voting until 8 PM and weekend hours. The bill also requires the state board of elections to promulgate rules to ensure the efficient and fair implementation of early voting, including procedures to prevent the premature release of election results.
