A 2554: Designates campuses which are operated by the state university of New York with at least sixteen thousand enrolled students and an on campus dormitory as early voting sites and polling sites; provides that such designation requirements shall not apply where an early voting site or polling site is already designated within one mile of the geographic boundaries of such campus.
The proposed legislation aims to designate certain state university campuses as early voting sites and polling sites. Campus polling places would be located at a location approved by the college or university, except where a polling place is already within one mile of the campus. State university campuses with an enrollment of at least 16,000 students and an on-campus dormitory would be required to have an early voting site. The requirements would not apply where an early voting site is already designated within one mile of the campus. The legislation would take effect immediately.
