Relates to the terms of office of commissioners of elections

S 2050 changes the term length for election commissioners from two to four years, starting January 1 of each odd-numbered year. This applies to most counties, with specific exceptions: New York City and Schenectady County already have four-year terms, and other counties can choose to adopt four-year terms through their local legislative bodies. The bill modifies the election law to establish this new term structure, replacing the previous two-year term. The change takes effect for elections occurring on or after November 1, 2026.
