NY Legislature: Candidates can't be poll watchers

Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York Legislature has passed an amendment to state election law that would prohibit candidates from serving as poll watchers in an election district where they appear on the ballot.

Sponsors say in some jurisdictions, it's common for candidates for public office to be appointed poll watchers, though election inspectors say that borders on electioneering and is intimidating to voters.
