Assemblymember Abinanti passed - after an extensive debate - legislation to modernize the statutory scheme for the Boards of Elections to respond to emergencies. It authorizes the boards to delay or add additional days of voting for all elections (including primaries and caucuses), thus, eliminating the need for the governor to step in. Abinanti's bill also eliminates an archaic provision that allows a boards of elections to cancel an election where there were an insufficient number of voters due to a natural disaster.
New York State Assemblyman Tom Abinanti 92nd District.
