A 9650 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires the transmission by mail or personal delivery of a certified copy of the statements of canvassing boards to the state board of elections

This bill requires local election boards to send an official copy of their election results (including votes for president, Congress, state offices, and ballot measures) to the state election board either by mail or in person within 25 days after an election. It specifies that this transmission is a mandatory task for election boards, with no discretion allowed. If a copy isn't received on time, the state board must send a messenger to retrieve it immediately from the local board. This is a procedural change to election reporting, not a policy shift affecting voters or candidates.
