 Introduced by Sen. KAVANAGH -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to changing the date of
 designation for election inspectors and poll clerks

 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 3-404 of the election law, as
 2 amended by chapter 263 of the laws of 1991, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 1. The board of elections of each county shall on or before the
 5 [fifteenth day of July] first day of January of each year select and
 6 appoint election inspectors and poll clerks for each election district
 7 therein, and such number of election coordinators as it determines to be
 8 necessary, and may thereafter select and designate election inspectors,
 9 poll clerks and election coordinators to fill any vacancy for an unex-
 10 pired term. The term of such designation shall be for a term ending on
 11 the [fourteenth day of July of the following year] thirty-first day of
 12 December of the same year. If the election districts for a general or
 13 special village election conducted by the board of elections are coter-
 14 minous with the election districts established for general elections,
 15 such election inspectors and poll clerks shall also serve at such
 16 village elections. If the election districts for such a village election
 17 are not so coterminous, the board of elections shall select the inspec-
 18 tors and poll clerks to serve in each such village election district
 19 from among the inspectors and poll clerks appointed, pursuant to the
 20 provisions of this section, for any election district wholly or partly
 21 in such village.
 22 § 2. Subdivision 2 of section 3-404 of the election law is amended to
 23 read as follows:
 24 2. Each political party entitled to representation on any board of
 25 elections may, not later than the [first day of May] fifteenth day of

 1 November in each year, file with the appropriate board of elections, an

 3 be filed at the same time and at any time before the designation is made
 4 and certified or when a vacancy exists. All designations shall be made
 5 first from those named in the original list filed if those designated
 6 are found qualified.
 7 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
