 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 7427

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 April 16, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. HOYLMAN-SIGAL -- read twice and ordered printed, and
 when printed to be committed to the Committee on Elections

 AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to authorizing the board
 of elections to alter the presidential ballot

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 4-110 of the election law, as amended by chapter 5
 2 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:
 3 § 4-110. Certification of primary election candidates; state board of
 4 elections. 1. The state board of elections, not later than fifty-five
 5 days before a primary election, shall certify to each county board of
 6 elections: The name and residence of each candidate to be voted for
 7 within the political subdivision of such board for whom a designation
 8 has been filed with the state board; the title of the office or position
 9 for which the candidate is designated; the name of the party upon whose
 10 primary ballot [his or her] the candidate's name is to be placed; and
 11 the order in which the names of the candidates are to be printed as
 12 determined by the state board. Where an office or position is uncon-
 13 tested, such certification shall state such fact.
 14 2. Notwithstanding subdivision one of this section, a candidate for
 15 whom a designation has been filed who has been found by the state board
 16 of elections to have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the
 17 United States, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof, shall not
 18 be so certified, unless the United States Congress, by a vote of two-
 19 thirds of each house, has removed such disability. For purposes of such
 20 determination, where the state board of elections is unable to reach a
 21 finding, the question shall, within twenty-four hours, be referred to
 22 the office of the attorney general by the co-executive directors of the
 23 state board of elections for a formal opinion, which, absent a contrary
 24 order by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be conclusive of the
 25 inquiry.
 26 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
