Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to the calculation of voting power for committee members in districts that have changed or new districts
AI Summary
This bill amends the Election Law to change how the voting power of county committee members is calculated in districts that have been changed or newly created since the last gubernatorial election. The bill replaces the previous formula, which was based on the party's enrollment or vote for Assembly member, with a new formula that is based on the party's vote for governor in the last gubernatorial election, adjusted by the percentage of registered voters from the former district that are contained in the new district. This change is intended to ensure that the voting power of county committee members accurately reflects the current party affiliation of voters in their districts, even if district boundaries have changed.
