Relates to the rejection by voting machines of ballots that contain a vote for a candidate who previously withdrew from an election

This bill requires voting machines in New York to automatically reject ballots cast for candidates who withdrew from an election before the election date, starting January 1, 2027. It directly affects voters who accidentally select a withdrawn candidate and election systems that must implement this rejection feature. The key provision mandates that machines notify voters immediately when a ballot is rejected, stating the withdrawn candidate's name and instructing them to cast a new ballot. The state board of elections will create rules to implement this change before the effective date.
