A 7887 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires persons appointed as election commissioners to be citizens of the United States

This bill amends New York State election law to require all appointed election commissioners to be U.S. citizens. It directly affects individuals seeking or holding election commissioner positions by adding citizenship as a mandatory qualification. The key provision updates Section 3-200 of the election law to explicitly prohibit non-citizens from serving in this role, alongside existing requirements like being a registered voter and not holding other public offices. The change applies immediately upon enactment.
