A 5513 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Exempts party position elections from automatic full manual recounts

This bill exempts elections for party positions (such as committee roles) held during primary elections from automatic full manual recounts. It directly affects candidates running for party leadership positions in primaries, as these races will no longer trigger mandatory recounts if results are close. The key mechanism adds an explicit exception to election law, removing party position elections from the standard recount requirement. This change modifies existing election procedures without altering voter eligibility or ballot design.
