Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to ballots where the express intent of the voter is unambiguous
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Election Law to specify that in cases where the voter's intent is unambiguous, any stray marks or writings on the ballot shall not be a basis for voiding the ballot. This change aims to ensure that voters' express intent is honored, even if the ballot is not marked exactly as prescribed. The bill would take effect immediately and apply to elections occurring on or after the effective date.
