New York approves elections law shifting local races to even years
Gov. Kathy Hochul signs several new election laws. S3505B A4282B moves town and most county races from odd to even years to lift local turnout. Transitions allow 2023 elected officials to serve full terms with a one time three year option, restoring four year terms in 2030. Some offices like town justices and county judges remain unchanged due to constitutional constraints.
