Paragraph (a) of subdivision 5 of section 4-104 of the election law, as amended by chapter 95 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: (a) Whenever the number of voters eligible to vote in an election in any election district is less than one hundred, the polling place desig- nated for such district may be the polling place of any other district which could properly be designated as the polling place of the first mentioned district pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, except that the polling place designated for any such district may be the poll- ing place of any other district in such city or town provided that the distance from such first mentioned district to the polling place for such other district is not unreasonable pursuant to rules or regulations prescribed by the state board of elections and provided that the total number of persons eligible to vote in such other district in such election, including the persons eligible to vote in such first mentioned districts, is not more than five hundred. The inspectors of election and poll clerks, if any, of such other election district shall also act in all respects as the election officers for such first mentioned districts and no other inspectors shall be appointed to serve in or for such first mentioned districts. A separate poll ledger or computer generated regis- tration list, separate voting machine or ballots and separate canvass of results shall be provided for such first mentioned districts, except that if the candidates and ballot proposals to be voted on by the voters of such districts are the same, the election districts shall be combined and shall constitute a single election district for that election. HOWEVER, IF THE FIRST MENTIONED DISTRICT CONTAINS FEWER THAN TEN VOTERS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN SUCH ELECTION, THERE SHALL BE NO LIMITATION ON THE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
