BILL NUMBER:S3500 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public officers law and the election law, in relation to time frames within certain actions must be taken PURPOSE: This bill would amend certain provisions of the Public Officers Law and the Election Law to provide county boards of elections additional time prior to special elections in order to allow military ballots to be timely mailed to voters in compliance with the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ("UOCAVA"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 1973ff-1973ff-7, as amended by the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act, Pub. L. No. 111-84, Subtitle H, §§ 575-589, 123 Stat. 2190, 2318-2335 (2009) ("MOVE Act"). SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill would amend Public Officers Law § 42(3) to enlarge the period between the announcement of a special election and the date of that election by forty days. As a result, the special election would be held between seventy and eighty days from its announcement, rather than between thirty and forty days.
