Bill > A01993

This bill amends the New York State election law to increase compensation for election workers in New York City. Specifically, the legislation raises the daily pay for election inspectors from $130 to $300 and election coordinators from $200 to $350. Additionally, the bill increases the payment for attending required training sessions from $25 to $50, with the option for counties to provide transportation expenses. The changes apply to election inspectors, poll clerks, election coordinators, and qualified voters who are appointed to serve during registration and election days. In New York City, these payments will be set and paid by the mayor, while in other jurisdictions, the county legislative body will determine the compensation, with a new minimum threshold of $300. The bill aims to provide more competitive compensation for election workers and takes effect immediately upon passage.
