Bill > A00985

This bill amends the New York Election Law to allow for electronic correspondence regarding determinations on objections to designating petitions, independent nominating petitions, certificates of nomination, or ballot access documents, if the objector or candidate consents to it. The bill provides that notice of the date or dates on which the officer or board will consider the specifications filed, as well as the result and research of the specifications, may be given by electronic correspondence instead of overnight mail with the consent of the objector or candidate. Similarly, notice of the determination that a certificate or petition is sufficient or insufficient may be given by electronic correspondence instead of mail, with the consent of the candidate or objector.
