                    IN SENATE

                                       ___________
 
        Introduced by Sen. MARCHIONE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Elections
 
        AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to poll watchers
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 8-500  of  the  election  law,  as

     2  amended by chapter 9 of the laws of 1978, is amended to read as follows:
     3    4.  Each  watcher  must  be a qualified voter of the city or county in
     4  which he or she is to serve.  No person shall be appointed or act  as  a
     5  watcher  who is a candidate for any public office to be voted for by the
     6  voters of the election district in the same election in which the watch-
     7  er is to serve.   Nothing in this  subdivision  shall  be  construed  as
     8  prohibiting  any  such  candidate  from visiting a polling place in such
     9  district on an election day while the polls are open.
    10    §2. This act shall take effect immediately.

                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
