 AN ACT to amend the election law and the village law, in relation to
 requiring village elections on the same date as general elections take
 place on even numbered years

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 15-104 of the election law, as
 2 amended by chapter 248 of the laws of 1983, paragraph b as amended by
 3 chapter 565 of the laws of 1998, paragraph c as amended by chapter 359
 4 of the laws of 1989, and paragraph d as amended by chapter 684 of the
 5 laws of 2006, is amended to read as follows:
 6 1. a. The general village election shall be held on the third Tuesday
 7 in March except in any village which presently elects, or hereafter
 8 adopts a proposition to elect, its officers on a date other than the
 9 third Tuesday in March. Villages that have elections on the day of the
 10 general election in November shall hold such elections on the day of the
 11 general election in even numbered years.
 12 b. In any village in which the general village election, or a special
 13 village election for officers pursuant to this chapter, is scheduled to
 14 be held on the third Tuesday of March, for any year in which the seven-
 15 teenth day of March shall fall on such Tuesday, the board of trustees of
 16 such village shall provide, by the resolution prescribed by paragraph b
 17 of subdivision three of this section, that such election shall be held
 18 on the eighteenth day of March. Any provision of a resolution adopted
 19 pursuant to this subdivision shall not otherwise alter the political
 20 calendar for any such election, which shall continue to be computed from
 21 the third Tuesday of March. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivi-
 22 sion five of this section, any provision of a resolution adopted pursu-
 23 ant to this subdivision shall be effective only if such provision is
 24 specifically published as provided by this section.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 c. The board of trustees of a village may adopt a resolution, subject
 2 to a permissive referendum as provided in article nine of the village
 3 law, providing that village elections shall be conducted by the board of
 4 elections. The board of trustees of a village which has adopted such a
 5 resolution and which is wholly in one county may also adopt a resolution
 6 providing that village elections shall occur on the day of the general
 7 election in even numbered years provided that all the election districts
 8 contained within such village are wholly within such village. Upon
 9 approval of such a resolution by the board of trustees and, if requested
 10 by petition, approval by a vote of the qualified voters of the village,
 11 the county board of elections shall conduct all village elections
 12 including in those cases in which such village elections are held on the
 13 day of the general election, primary elections, if any. Such resolution
 14 shall be effective for all elections in such village held more than six
 15 months after such resolution is adopted, provided however, that a resol-
 16 ution providing that village elections shall occur on the day of the
 17 general election in even numbered years, shall be effective for such
 18 elections in such village for which the primary election is held mo
