Bill > S01148

This bill amends the Election Law to modify provisions related to the designation of polling places for elections. Key changes include: (1) allowing public buildings, except for public schools, to be designated as polling places, with the owner/operator required to demonstrate any incompatibility with the building's primary function; (2) requiring public school buildings to not be designated as early voting polling locations; and (3) removing the prohibition on designating a location where alcoholic beverages are sold for on-premises consumption as a polling place. The bill aims to provide more options for designating suitable polling places while restricting their use for early voting in public schools.
