A 1014 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to ballot drop boxes for absentee and early voting ballots

This bill clarifies and updates rules for ballot drop boxes used in absentee and early voting. It defines "ballot drop box" and "drop-off location" to ensure secure return of marked ballots to election boards. Local election boards can now establish these drop boxes as an option for voters, must post locations online immediately, and are required to close them at election day's poll closing time. The bill also specifies that ballots placed in drop boxes before polls close are considered timely, and gives the state election board authority to create security and handling rules.
