S 3863 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the number of affidavit ballots to be supplied at polling sites

This bill requires county election boards to provide at least 15% of the previous election's voter turnout in each district as affidavit ballots at every polling site. Affidavit ballots are backup ballots for voters who cannot cast a regular ballot due to issues like missing registration. The number supplied must be calculated based on the actual turnout from the last election of the same type (e.g., general election) in that specific polling district. This applies directly to county election boards and polling sites across the state, ensuring a minimum supply of backup ballots for voter access.
