ALBANY, N.Y. â This week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law legislation that requires municipalities with the highest population in each county to have at least one polling place designated for early voting. New York State Assemblyman John T. McDonald III, who co-sponsored the bill along with New York State Sen. Neil Breslin, commended the governor on expanding access to early voting sites. "The largest municipality in each county generally has better access to public transportation, higher population density, and serves as the center for surrounding communities. This law will ensure that any decisions regarding early voting locations are focusing on siting to remove barriers for voters," McDonald stated.Â
