Yes, it's legal.
The purpose is to prevent a few supporters of a candidate from effectively blockading a voting machine preventing others from voting.
The time limit is always wayyyyyy in excess of what it takes a normal person to vote. It took me a grand total of 30 seconds to actually vote once I got behind the curtain today.

When I early voted, they had a sign about the 3 minute rules and cited a state law.

The 3 minute rule was posted at our place and I had to use most of it because I couldn't read. My contacts are long distance for driving a car and playing golf...no good for reading up close. So, I had to back away from the names pushing the curtain back as far as I could without standing outside the booth in order to read. I'm sure the monitors didn't know WTF I was doing.

I don't know how people took more than a minute to vote.
A good 30-45 seconds and I'm out.

quote:It takes longer than 1 minute to read the instructions on the NY ballot, and it's important to read them because certain mistakes can invalidate your vote. For instance, when voting for judges, it will say how many judges you can select for that district. If you vote for too many, none of your votes count (just for the judge voting).
If it takes you more than 1 minute, you're doing it wrong.
Crossing out a mistake invalidates the entire ballot, so if you vote for too many judges and then cross one out, your whole ballot is trashed. If you didn't read that instruction, tough luck.

Polling place had a posted time limit for voting. Is this legal?
Why wouldn't it be?
And how can anyone take more than 30 seconds to vote? If you didn't read the proposals on the ballot before stepping in the both then (1) frick you and (2) don't vote on those proposals.
