A 2098 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits early voting on federal holidays

This bill prohibits early voting on federal holidays during the designated early voting period for elections. If the early voting window includes a federal holiday, voting is banned on that day, and election boards must add one extra day to the early voting period to compensate. The policy directly affects voters participating in general, primary, or special elections scheduled to overlap with federal holidays, ensuring they have equivalent voting opportunities. It modifies existing election law to automatically extend voting days without requiring new legislation for each holiday.
