Bill > S01501

This bill amends the New York Election Law to establish specific timelines for when the Board of Elections must mail or deliver absentee ballots to voters after receiving their applications. The key provisions are: (1) if the application is received at least 60 days before the election, the ballot must be mailed or delivered no later than 46 days before the election; (2) if the application is received after 60 days but no later than 46 days before the election, the ballot must be mailed or delivered no later than 42 days before the election; and (3) the timeline for mailing or delivering the ballot becomes progressively shorter as the election date approaches, with the Board required to do so within 2-4 days if the application is received in the final 15 days before the election. This aims to ensure timely delivery of absentee ballots to voters.
