New York State Bill 9050
This bill requires the state of New York to cover all expenses related to a primary election taking place on August 23, 2022 for candidates running for the state senate and the United States House of Representatives. The bill specifies that no municipality will have to bear the costs of this primary election if they are already conducting a primary election on June 28, 2022.
The purpose of this bill is to assist in preventing gerrymandering, which is the manipulation of voting district boundaries for political gain. By providing financial support for the primary election, the state aims to ensure fair and equal representation for all voters in the state.
