BILL NUMBER:S6637 TITLE OF BILL: An act to repeal section 3-408 of the election law relating to election inspectors and clerks PURPOSE: To eliminate conflicting provisions in Election Law relating to the canvassing of absentee ballots in poll sites on Election Day and the appointment of persons conducting said canvassing. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill repeals Section 3-408 of the Election Law. JUSTIFICATION: The Election Law was previously amended to require that absentee ballots be canvassed centrally, at Board of Elections offices or their facilities and not in poll sites, however, the provision which provided for poll workers to be appointed to count said ballots in poll sites inadvertently remained. By repealing said section, there can be no confusion on the part of election administrators, poll workers or candidates, that absentee ballots must be counted centrally at Board offices or facilities, which ensures consistency, accuracy and transparency in the election process.
