New York Legislature is About to Adjourn, Having Passed Only One Significant Election Law Bill

The New York legislature is expected to adjourn for the year on June 24. The only significant election law bill that passed this year is A8363/S5753, which moves the presidential primary from February to April. The bill to set up a statewide initiative system, S709, never made any headway in the Assembly, although it did pass the Senate. Also, the national popular vote plan bill, S4208, passed the Senate but not the Assembly. Many bills to ease signature requirements for candidates made no progress in either chamber. UPDATE: as of June 24, it is not clear that the legislative session will end this week; it may be continued into next week.
