NY S05804

Allows county or state boards of elections to add an extra voting day if a disaster or state of emergency makes voting impossible during the scheduled election, with approval by the state board of elections for county-level determinations.

Additional voting day must occur within 20 days of the original election date with polls open a minimum of 11 hours; all registered voters who did not vote on election day are eligible to vote on the additional day.

Requires boards of elections to provide notice to media outlets, government clerks, and registered voters by mail at least one week before the additional voting day, with notice also posted on the board's website.

Allows county or state boards of elections to extend filing deadlines for up to two business days and postpone party caucuses for up to one week if a disaster or state of emergency substantially impairs the ability to file or hold caucuses.

Requires boards of elections to immediately notify media outlets, post notices on websites, and inform appropriate government officials of any extensions or postponements granted under the emergency provisions.
