AN ACT to amend the election law,  in  relation  to  the  canvassing  of
  primary returns by the board of elections

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 9-200  of  the  election  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  29  of  the  laws  of  1983, is amended to read as
follows:
  2. The board forthwith upon the completion of the canvass for  members
of  a  state committee and delegates and alternates to a national, state
or judicial district convention, shall transmit to the  state  board  of
elections a certificate stating the name and residence of each member of
a  state  committee  and  delegate and alternate elected from a district
wholly within the jurisdiction of such board, except that, in respect to
a judicial district convention in the  first,  second,  eleventh  [and],
twelfth  AND  THIRTEENTH  judicial  districts,  the  board of elections,
instead of transmitting such certificate, shall compile the roll of  the
convention and transmit it to the chairman or secretary of the committee
which,  by  party  rules,  is empowered to fix the time and place of the
convention.  The board of elections shall send by mail to each  delegate
and  alternate elected a notice of his election. The certificate or roll
of the convention shall list the delegates and alternates elected  at  a
primary  in  the  order of the votes received by each delegate or alter-
nate, with the delegate or alternate receiving  the  highest  number  of
votes  listed first. Tie votes shall be indicated in a manner prescribed
by the state board of elections. If there shall have been  no  contested
election for alternates, the names of the alternates shall appear on the
certificate  or  roll  in the order in which their names appeared on the
petition which designated them.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
