NY S00822

Allows the state board of elections and election officers to give notice by electronic correspondence instead of overnight mail regarding objection determinations, provided the objector or candidate affirmatively consents to electronic delivery.

Requires that parties be conspicuously advised that electronic enrollment is voluntary and they may continue receiving notices by mail before they can consent to electronic correspondence.

Permits candidates or objectors to designate an attorney or agent to receive notices on their behalf, with the agent information including name, address, email, and telephone number.

Maintains the requirement that objectors and candidates receive an opportunity to be heard regarding the validity of specific objections, whether by written submission or oral presentation.

Takes effect on the same date as the 2022 legislation (S. 4413 and A. 4261) that established the specification of objections framework.
