Bill > A02554

This bill amends the New York election law to require campuses operated by the State University of New York (SUNY) with at least 16,000 enrolled students and an on-campus dormitory to serve as both polling places and early voting sites. Specifically, the bill mandates that polling places for students on such campuses must be located at a site approved by the college or university, and that these campuses must establish an early voting site directly on campus. This legislation aims to increase voting accessibility for college students by providing convenient voting locations within their immediate campus environment. By setting specific enrollment and dormitory criteria, the bill targets larger SUNY campuses where a significant number of students reside, potentially making it easier for these students to participate in the electoral process without having to travel far from their living and learning spaces.
