Summary

The bill amends New York election law to obligate each county or city board of elections to establish at least one drop‑off location for absentee or early‑voting ballots. Boards must publish the site’s address on their website when it opens and may place the box in public facilities such as town halls or libraries, with the box in place at least 45 days before an election. The change is intended to give voters an additional, convenient way to return mailed ballots.
