 AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to primary election voting
 ballots in cities with a population of one million or more as of the
 latest federal decennial census

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

 1 Section 1. Section 7-116 of the election law is amended by adding a
 2 new subdivision 6-a to read as follows:
 3 6-a. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision six of this
 4 section, in cities with a population of one million or more as of the
 5 latest federal decennial census, the ballot on the voting machine for
 6 primary elections shall conform to the following additional provisions:
 7 The names of the candidates designated for such public office or party
 8 position in the primary of a party shall be placed under the title of
 9 the office or position in the alphabetical order of their surnames, in
 10 the first or lowest numbered assembly district and election district of
 11 any political unit or subdivision within a county. If candidates'
 12 surnames are identical, their given or first name shall determine their
 13 order. Thereafter the names shall be rotated by election districts by
 14 transposing the first named candidate to the bottom of the order at each
 15 succeeding election district, so that each name shall appear first and
 16 in each other position in an equal number, as nearly as possible, of the
 17 election districts and except, further, that where two or more candi-
 18 dates are to be elected to the same party position, the names of candi-
 19 dates for such a position which appear on the same designating petition
 20 shall be grouped together on the ballot in the order in which their
 21 names appear on the designating petition and the group rotated alphabet-
 22 ically in relation to other groups or individual candidates according to

 6 groups or individual candidates according to the surname of the first
 7 person listed on such designating petition in the group of candidates
 8 for whichever of such delegate or alternate delegate positions will

 11 state committee elected from each unit of representation, elections for
 12 male and female members of such a committee from a single unit of repre-
 13 sentation shall be conducted as elections for two different party posi-
