Legislature approves a package of small state election grants for poll books, vote-by-mail and postage
Summary
Yates County Legislators unanimously authorized multiple Board of Elections grant contracts totaling several thousand dollars to support electronic poll books, vote-by-mail, ballot-by-mail extensions and other election expenses through March 31, 2027.
The Legislature approved several resolutions authorizing the Chair to sign contracts with the New York State Board of Elections to accept and spend state reimbursements for local election-related costs.
Resolutions included authorization to accept $134.61 for an Electronic Poll Book grant (Contract C005058), $5,622.06 for a Vote by Mail grant (Contract C005396), $5,883.14 to extend a Ballot by Mail grant, $300.09 for a 2025 General Election grant (Contract C005338) and $460.80 for a 2024 General Election grant extension. Legislators discussed avoiding duplication of services (e.g., absentee-by-mail options) but supported the grants as allowable reimbursement for costs already incurred or expected.
All elections-related grant resolutions passed unanimously.
