  Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 3-204  of  the  election  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  455  of  the  laws  of 1984, is amended to read as
follows:
  4. Commissioners of election shall be appointed by the county legisla-
tive body, or in the city of New York, by the  city  council.  Provided,
however,  that  if  a  legislative body shall fail to appoint any person
recommended by a party for appointment as  a  commissioner  pursuant  to
this  section,  within  thirty days after the filing of a certificate of
recommendation with such legislative body,  then  the  members  of  such
legislative body who are members of the political party which filed such
certificate may appoint such person.  AND FURTHER PROVIDED, IF THERE ARE
NO  MEMBERS  OF  THE  LEGISLATIVE  BODY WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE POLITICAL
PARTY WHICH FILED SUCH CERTIFICATE, THE APPOINTMENT  SHALL  TAKE  EFFECT
UPON  THE  EXPIRATION  OF THIRTY DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT THE CERTIFICATE
WAS FILED. If none of the persons named in any of the certificates filed
by a party are so appointed within sixty days after the  filing  of  any
such  certificate,  then  such party may file another certificate within
thirty days after the expiration of any such sixty day period recommend-
ing a different person for such appointment. If a party fails to file  a
certificate  within  the time prescribed by this section, the members of
the legislative body who are members  of  such  party  may  appoint  any
eligible person to such office.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
