Bill > A00452

This bill amends the New York Election Law to standardize the requirements for specifying objections to designating petitions, independent nominating petitions, certificates of nomination, or other ballot access documents. It removes the authority of local boards of elections to create their own rules regarding the filing and disposition of such objections. The bill outlines specific requirements for filing objections and specifications, including providing detailed information about the objections and serving copies on the candidates. The bill also requires election boards to provide notice and an opportunity for the objector and candidates to be heard before making a determination on the sufficiency of the petitions or certificates.
