                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. CARROLL -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Election Law
 
        AN ACT to amend the election law, in  relation  to  authorizing  consol-
          idation  of  certain  voting districts with a small number of eligible
          voters
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision 5 of section 4-104 of the
     2  election law, as amended by chapter 95 of the laws of 1995,  is  amended
     3  to read as follows:
     4    (a)  Whenever  the number of voters eligible to vote in an election in
     5  any election district is less than one hundred, the polling place desig-
     6  nated for such district may be the polling place of any  other  district
     7  which  could  properly  be  designated as the polling place of the first
     8  mentioned district pursuant to the provisions of  this  chapter,  except
     9  that the polling place designated for any such district may be the poll-
    10  ing  place  of any other district in such city or town provided that the
    11  distance from such first mentioned district to  the  polling  place  for
    12  such other district is not unreasonable pursuant to rules or regulations
    13  prescribed  by  the state board of elections and provided that the total
    14  number of persons eligible to  vote  in  such  other  district  in  such
    15  election, including the persons eligible to vote in such first mentioned
    16  districts, is not more than five hundred. The inspectors of election and
    17  poll  clerks,  if any, of such other election district shall also act in
    18  all respects as the election officers for such first mentioned districts
    19  and no other inspectors shall be appointed to serve in or for such first
    20  mentioned districts. A separate poll ledger or computer generated regis-
    21  tration list, separate voting machine or ballots and separate canvass of
    22  results shall be provided for such  first  mentioned  districts,  except
    23  that if the candidates and ballot proposals to be voted on by the voters
    24  of such districts are the same, the election districts shall be combined

         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD01996-01-9
        A. 3543                             2
 
     1  and  shall  constitute  a  single  election  district for that election.
     2  However, if the first mentioned district contains fewer than ten  voters
     3  eligible  to  vote in such election, there shall be no limitation on the
     4  total  number  of persons eligible to vote in such combined district. If
     5  the polling place for any election district is moved for  any  election,
     6  pursuant  to  the provisions of this subdivision, the board of elections
     7  shall, not later than  ten  nor  more  than  fifteen  days  before  such
     8  election,  mail,  by first class mail, to each voter eligible to vote in
     9  such election district at such election,  a  notice  setting  forth  the
    10  location of the polling place for such election and specifying that such
    11  location is for such election only.
    12    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
