MANHATTAN — An appellate court in New York reversed the lower court’s ruling, finding that the state’s York’s “Even Year Election” law is not unconstitutional. Several counties had sued, arguing the shift from odd to even years shaved a year from officials’ terms. “Although the EYEL truncates the terms of certain local offices on the 2025 ballot by one year, that change has no obvious bearing on a voter’s decision to sign a designating petition and does not prejudice any candidate as against an opponent.”
