Bill > S07700

This bill amends the New York election law to modify how candidates are nominated for village offices when a village chooses to hold its elections on the same day as the general election. Specifically, the bill changes the existing nomination process for village offices, stating that when a village opts to conduct its elections concurrent with the general election (as allowed under section 15-104), the designation and nomination of candidates will now follow the same procedures outlined in sections 6-100 through 6-108 of the election law. This means village election candidates will now use the standard state election nomination process instead of any previous village-specific nomination methods. The change standardizes the candidate selection process for villages that choose to align their election day with the general election, potentially making the process more uniform and accessible. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
