New York S04407 amends the election law to reduce the number of signatures needed for designating petitions in counties with a population of 250,000.

New York S04407 amends the election law by adding new subdivisions to Section 6-136. It reduces the number of signatures required for designating petitions in counties with a population of 250,000 or fewer by one-quarter, rounded down to the nearest whole number. This change does not apply to designating petitions for congressional or statewide offices. For political subdivisions in these smaller counties, petitions must be signed by at least three and three-quarters percent of the enrolled voters of the party, excluding inactive voters. The act takes effect immediately.
