A 5043 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Allows delivery of an application for an absentee ballot to the board of elections through and on the day of the election

Bill A 5043 amends election law to allow voters to submit absentee ballot applications in person at their local election board up to and including election day. Previously, such applications had to be received by the day before the election. This change directly affects voters who prefer in-person submission and need to apply for absentee ballots on short notice. The key mechanism extends the deadline for in-person applications from 10 days before the election to election day itself.
