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.
