Bill > S00810

This bill modifies the New York election law by removing the requirement for the Board of Elections in New York City to include the process for declining a county committee party position designation in their notification to candidates. Specifically, the bill amends an existing law that requires the board to inform candidates of their designation for a county committee party position. Previously, the notice had to include instructions on how a candidate could decline the designation in accordance with section 6-146 of the election law. Under this proposed change, the board will still notify candidates of their designation but will no longer need to provide details about how to decline the position. The bill is set to take effect simultaneously with another related election law amendment concerning candidate notifications for county committee positions. This change appears to simplify the notification process for the Board of Elections and potentially reduce administrative complexity in the designation of county committee party positions.
