New York A00554 allows a court to order a new election if there is clear and convincing evidence that the wrong candidate was declared the winner.
New York A00554 amends the election law to allow a court to invalidate election results and order a new election if clear and convincing evidence shows that fraud, irregularities, or violations of election laws affected the outcome. The new election must include all candidates from the original election and will be held on the fifth Tuesday after the court's order, unless that date is a holiday. The court may also issue an injunction to prevent a candidate from wrongly assuming office until the new election is held.
