Relates to the designation and nomination of candidates for village office in village elections conducted on the day of the general election
This bill (A 7152) changes how villages nominate candidates for local office when they hold elections on the same day as statewide general elections. It requires villages that choose this election timing (as permitted under existing law) to follow the state's standard nomination procedures for general elections (sections 6-100 through 6-108 of the election law), rather than their own village-specific rules. This directly affects villages that opt to align their local elections with the statewide general election date. The change streamlines the nomination process for these villages by applying uniform statewide election rules.
