New York Legislature Extends Session, Giving More Time to Deal with Presidential Primary Date

On Wednesday, June 17, the New York legislature decided not to adjourn that date, but to also sit on Thursday, June 18, and possibly Friday. This will give more time for one of the bills on the timing of the 2016 presidential primary to pass. Those bills are AB 8251 and 8256, and SB 5958, 5959, 5960, 5961, and 5962.

Current law puts the presidential primary on February 2, which violates national party rules.
