A 8668 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires certain elections of public officials occur on even-numbered years

This bill changes election timing for many local government positions in New York, requiring that elections for city officers (like supervisors), county officers (including sheriffs, clerks, and treasurers), and certain other roles occur in even-numbered years instead of odd-numbered years. It directly affects cities, counties, and their elected officials by aligning their election schedules with the standard general election cycle. Key provisions amend multiple state laws to specify that elections must be held "in an even-numbered year" at the general election in November, with a transition rule allowing current officials to complete existing terms before the new schedule applies. The change aims to streamline elections and reduce the number of separate local elections held in odd-numbered years.
