Bill Summary

Relates to the dates by which the governor may make proclamation of a special election to fill certain offices; provides that a special election shall not be held to fill a vacancy in any other office subject to a proclamation by the governor unless the vacancy occurs before the first day of April of the last year of the term of office.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Public Officers Law to change the timeline for the governor to call a special election to fill certain vacancies in office. Specifically, the bill requires the governor to call a special election within 10 days of a vacancy occurring, and sets deadlines for when such special elections can be held - 70 to 80 days after the proclamation for vacancies in the U.S. House of Representatives, and 40 to 50 days after the proclamation for other offices. The bill also prohibits the governor from calling a special election to fill a vacancy in any other office subject to the governor's proclamation power if the vacancy occurs after April 1 of the last year of the term of office.
