Bill > S05193

This bill establishes a nonpartisan poll monitoring program. It allows civic organizations and ballot issue committees to appoint up to two nonpartisan poll monitors per polling place, provided they meet certain criteria, such as maintaining an office and phone number in New York for at least one year. The bill outlines the process for organizations to apply for and receive approval to appoint monitors, as well as the qualifications and duties of the monitors. It also specifies guidelines for the monitors, such as prohibiting them from interfering with the administration of the election or making audio/video recordings of voters or ballots.
