Bill > S07961

This bill amends the New York State Election Law to require that State University of New York (SUNY) campuses with at least 16,000 enrolled students and an on-campus dormitory be designated as both polling places and early voting sites. Specifically, the bill mandates that polling places on such campuses must be located at a site approved by the college or university, and each qualifying campus must have an early voting site established directly on campus. This legislation aims to increase voting accessibility for college students by providing convenient voting locations within their immediate campus environment. By ensuring that larger SUNY campuses have dedicated polling and early voting sites, the bill seeks to remove potential barriers to student voter participation and make the voting process more convenient for students living on or near these campuses.
