Stefanik v. Hochul

Docket number
86
Date

Upheld New York’s universal early mail voting law. The state high court disagreed that a state constitutional clause expressly authorizing absentee voting for specific categories of people should be interpreted to prevent mail-in voting by all others, based on the presumption of constitutionality for state laws, the constitutional history, and another clause allowing the legislature to authorize the “method” of elections.
