The Board of Elections in the City of New York (NYCBOE) conducts New York elections within New York City, United States. It is an administrative body of ten Commissioners, two from each borough upon recommendation by both political parties and then appointed by the New York City Council for a term of four years.
The NYCBOE has a longstanding history of nepotism and dysfunction.[2][3] The structure of the NYCBOE is enshrined in the New York state constitution.[2] One of New York state's last sources of patronage jobs,[4] the NYCBOE is run in a bipartisan manner, as each job position held by a Democrat must have a duplicated position for a Republican.[2] The staff in the organization are political appointees rather than professional staff.[2]
