  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

  Section  1.    Subdivision  1 of section 5-604 of the election law, as
amended by chapter 709 of the laws  of  1996,  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  1.  The  board  of elections shall also cause to be published for each
election district a complete list  of  the  registered  voters  of  each
election  district.    Such  list  shall, in addition to the information
required for registration lists, include the party  enrollment  of  each
voter.    At  least as many copies of such list shall be prepared as the
required minimum number of registration lists.
  Lists for all the election districts in a ward  or  assembly  district
may  be bound together in one volume.  The board of elections shall also
cause to be published a complete list of names and  residence  addresses
of  the registered voters, including the party enrollment of each voter,
for each town and city over which the board has jurisdiction. The  names
for each town and city may be arranged according to street and number or
alphabetically.    Such lists shall be published before the first day of
April [except that in a year in which any primary  is  held  before  the
first day of July, such lists shall be published before the first day of
March].  The board shall keep at least five copies for public inspection
at  each  main  office or branch office of the board.  Surplus copies of
the lists shall be sold at a charge not exceeding the cost  of  publica-
tion.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
