During the 2012 session, the Committee reported significant legislation that was later enacted into law to change the primary election date from September 11, 2012 to September 13, 2012. Under the New York State Election Law the 2012 fall primary election was scheduled for September 11, 2012. This legislation recognized and respected the significance of the anniversary of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by rescheduling the 2012 fall primary for September 13, 2012. The Committee also enacted legislation to allow for the continued use of lever voting machines for school districts, villages and special districts in their respective local elections until December 31, 2014. Other legislative initiatives which the Committee reported and the Assembly passed include: ensuring the security of lever voting machines used in village elections; requiring voting material to be provided in Russian; prohibiting certain candidates for public office from serving as poll watchers; requiring absentee ballot applications for village elections to conform to state board of election absentee ballot requirements; providing that absentee ballots for all elections shall be made available in Braille upon the request of a blind or visually impaired voter; and amending deadlines to facilitate timely transmission of ballots to overseas military voters for primary and general elections.

    NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY SHELDON SILVER, SPEAKER committee on Governmental Operations RoAnn M. Destito, Chair Annual Report December 15, 2010 The Honorable Sheldon Silver Speaker of the Assembly State Capitol, Room 349 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Silver, As Chair of the Assembly Standing Committee on Governmental Operations, I respectfully submit to you the 2010 Annual Report. In it, I have set forth the Committee's significant legislation and our outlook for the 2011 session. The Committee had a number of accomplishments this year. Some of its most significant bills came in the areas of ethics and procurement. Chapter 1 of the Laws of 2010 prohibits the use of state property and resources by public officers for private business. The Assembly also passed A.9544 (Silver) and A.9886 (Silver), which would provide for a comprehensive reform of the state’s ethics laws. Chapter 4 extends the expiration date of the Procurement Lobbying Law while enacting reforms that increased the law’s clarity. Chapters 173 and 175 made significant reforms to the minority- and women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) program. In addition to these accomplishments, the Committee took a number of steps in the areas of human rights and disabilities awareness. Chapters 196, 227, and 423 provide greater protections and workplace benefits to minorities and to individuals with disabilities. Chapter 532 expands employment opportunities for visually impaired members of the Business Enterprise Program. Finally, the Committee continued its tradition of working towards a more open government. Chapters 40, 43, 44, and 154 increase the transparency of government by increasing access to public meetings.

Also, legislation was enacted to set the presidential primary election for April 24, 2012, provide for the election of delegates and alternate delegates to the national party conventions, and ensure the State’s compliance with the federal MOVE Act for the presidential primary election, which requires that ballots be transmitted to overseas and military voters at least 45 days before such election. The 2011 session also saw the Committee report and subsequent enactment of legislation to make technical corrections with regards to: political subdivisions and election districts, the number and use of voting machines for village elections, the preservation of unused ballots, requirements to lock voting machines, and the retention of absentee ballots by county boards of elections.
