New York S05195 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to set qualifications for boards of elections.

New York S05195 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to allow the legislature to set qualifications for boards of elections. These boards, which handle voter registration, ballot distribution, and vote counting, must currently ensure equal representation from the two major political parties. The bill would enable the legislature to direct how these boards and officers are appointed or elected and to establish additional qualifications for their duties. This change would not apply to town or village elections.
