Bill > S03063

This bill amends the New York election law to require boards of elections to provide more comprehensive and transparent annual reports. Specifically, the bill mandates that these reports be published on each board's website within five days of being submitted to the state board of elections. The reports must now include detailed performance metrics covering various aspects of election administration, such as the number and types of elections held, ballot delivery and counting processes, poll worker staffing and training, interpreter deployment, voting equipment performance, poll site accessibility, candidate petition processing, voter registration application statistics, website usage metrics, and a breakdown of complaints about poll worker conduct. This requirement aims to increase public transparency and provide a more in-depth view of how local election boards operate, offering citizens and stakeholders a clearer understanding of the electoral process. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring that future annual reports will include these comprehensive performance metrics.
