S 1776 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes early voting sites to be placed at at least one city in a county, or if there is no city in such county, the county seat

This bill requires counties to establish at least one early voting location in either the largest city (based on the latest census) or the county seat if no cities exist. If a city has public transportation, the early voting site must be placed along those routes where feasible. It applies directly to county election officials and affects voters by standardizing early voting access points across all counties. The law takes immediate effect and includes a specific exception for Washington County.
