§ 3-500. Alternative poll site staffing plan. 1. Notwithstanding the
provisions of title four of this article, a board of elections may
design an alternative poll site staffing plan to more efficiently
conduct an election in accordance with this section. Such alternative
poll site staffing plan must be filed with the state board of elections.

2. An alternative staffing plan shall provide for at least four
inspectors, equally divided among the major parties, to be assigned to
each poll site, and all staffing must be likewise bipartisan. An
alternative staffing plan may consolidate election district and poll
site staffing functions to efficiently conduct an election pursuant to
this chapter, provided the tabulation of votes by election district
shall not be impaired unless consolidation of election districts for an
election is otherwise permitted by this chapter, and such staffing plan
complies with 9 NYCRR 6210.19(c).
