BILL NUMBER:S4088C TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the election law, in relation to run-off elections in the city of New York; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: New York State Election Law §6-162 requires that the city of New York conduct a run-off election two weeks after a primary election in the event that no candidate for Mayor, Public Advocate or Comptroller receives 40% or more of the primary vote. New York City is the only jurisdiction in the state required to hold a run-off election. This year is the first city-wide election in which optical scanning machines will be used in a run-off election should the need for one arise. In the event that a run-off election is required, there will be a need for a very quick post-primary election vote canvass. Therefore, the board of elections in the city of New York has expressed a desire to have the authority to use mechanical lever voting machines for the primary election and/or the run-off - in 2013 alone- if the board deems it necessary. Therefore, this bill allows the board of elections in the city of New York to use mechanical lever machines in the primary and/or run-off elections under certain limited circumstances. In addition, this legislation extends to three weeks, up from two weeks, the timeframe in which the City must

Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that the effective and timely administration of local elections in the city of New York is a matter of substantial state concern. In further- ance of this concern, the legislature finds that it is essential to the local democratic process to ensure that the board of elections in the city of New York utilizes voting machines that allow for the timely and orderly administration of elections. In order to modernize and update the voting systems utilized in New York State, the legislature passed the Election Reform and Modernization Act of 2005, which set forth requirements for electronic voting systems, including optical scanning voting machines, throughout the state. The implementation of these elec- tronic voting systems has brought the state into conformance with national standards for voting system performance and modernization. The state has a substantial interest in ensuring that elections in the city of New York are generally conducted with an electronic voting system that meets the above mentioned statewide standards. At the same time, EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
