New York A03338 amends election law to specify rules for designating polling places, including accessibility and religious accommodations.
New York A03338 amends the election law to establish rules for designating polling places. It mandates that polling places must be accessible to physically disabled voters and cannot be located in public school buildings. If a religious organization's building is designated as a polling place, it need not be open for voter registration on Saturdays if this conflicts with the organization's religious beliefs. The board of elections must designate an alternate location for voter registration in such cases.
