New York, et. al Civil Action No. 1O-CV-1214 (GLS)
Elections was directed to provide the Court with a proposed non-presidential federal piimary election calendar implementing the Court's selection of June 26, 2012 as the non-presidential federal primary date.
Elections is comprised of
As Your Honor is well aware, the State Board of
As there is not agreement among the Commissioners as to all ofthe statutory and administrative electionrelated deadlines which should be set by the Court in any Order implementing the Court's Janaury 2ih Decision and Order, I must file, on behalf of Commissioners Aquila and Kellner the enclosed Proposed Calendar for the 2012 Non Presidential Primary Election. As Your Honor can see, there is some agreement within the State Board as to the actual movement of dates where those dates are simply triggered by a number of days back from the primary. Where there is disagreement is in the role of the State Board, as an administrative agency, in proposing to the Court changes in state statutes to accommodate the requirements of the MOVE Act.
The enclosed enclosed Proposed Calendar for the 2012 Non Presidential Primary Election submitted on behalf of Commissioners Aquila and Kellner presents to the Court their best estimate as to what state statutes must be superceded and offers to the Court their views as to the manner in which they should be superceded. Perhaps the best example of this is in the diminution of the number of days for circulating designating petitions, the proportionate diminution in the required number of signatures which must be collected and the expansion of the filing dates to accommodate Passover. The goal of the Aquila/Kellner Calendar is to provide the Court with workable dates which, if adopted, will result in a successful effort at
MOVE Act compliance in the June 26th Non Presidential Primary Election. It is the view of Commissioners Aquila and Kellner that in some instances, merely moving dates back from the primary date is insufficient to accommodate full MOVE Act compliance, and there must be some compression of the time frames to allow for full compliance, nothwithstanding that the State Board, as an administrative agency lacks legislative authority.
Commissioners Aquila and Kellner view your charge to them as one requiring them to present you with their best judgment as to how to what changes must be made to ensure the June 26th Primary is conducted in such a fashion as to be to fully MOVE Act compliant.
The Kellner/Aquila Calendar sets forth the totality of election events that occur leading up to each federal primary election in that takes place in New York State. It also contains specific dates as suggestions to the Court as to how the primary may be best run, given the short period of time between now and June 26th. It is the belief of Commissioners Aquila and Kellner that in order to go from a primary calendar which previously required absentee ballots be sent out thirty-two (32) before the primary to one in which the military and federal voter"s ballots are sent out forty-five (45) days in advance of the primary there must be some time compression of the events leading up to the primary and their proposed calendar makes specific proposals in that regard.
As always, we stand ready to assist the Court and the parties in any way that we can.
Paul M. Collins Deputy Special Counsel Bar Roll No.1 01384
THE NEW YORK STATE and THE NEW YORK STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, -Defendants.
That he is the Co-Executive Director of the New York
State Board of Elections ("State Boardn) so appointed by the
Democratic Commissioners of the State Board, Evelyn J. Aquila
circumstances which lead to the filing of the "Kellner/Aquila
Proposed Calendarn attached hereto as Exhibit "An in response to
Order of this Court as imposing upon the State Board the
obligation of providing not just a proposed calendar but a
proposed calendar that is viable and which points out to the Court those areas of state law which must be superseded and
recommendations as to how best to cure the defects in the
current state statutory framework as it ,pertains to the 2012
Non-Presidential Federal Primary and the 2012 General Election
Many of the issues raised in the Kel lner / Aquila
Calendar were first brought to the attention of the Court in the State Board's filing of December 19, 2011 in Exhibits "A" and
"B" of that filing.
5. Commissioners Aquila and Kellner's current submission
is one which goes beyond merely mechanically backing up dates
from the old September Primary to the new June Primary and
includes suggestions as to how to make up the eighteen (18) days
of ballot access, certification, preparation, proofing, creation
and transmittal time which are lost when the date for sending
out military ballots changed from thirty-two (32) to forty-five
(45) days before the primary in compliance wi th the MOVE Act and
the dates to certify candidates for federal office changed from
thirty-six (36) to Fi fty-four (54) days prior to the federal
pr imary .
The proposed Kellner / Aquila Calendar also recognizes
that the county boards of elections had difficul ty complying
with the state law requiring that absentee ballots be sent out
thirty-two (32) days before an election and at tempts to compress
the ballot access timeframe to allow for an adequate, length of
time to complete ballot access and judicial review thereof so as
to allow for the timely transmi ttal of mili tary and overseas
federal ballots.
7. The legend for the Kel lner / Aquila Calendar is qui te
simple, "CO" refers to dates which must be superseded to comply
with the Court's January 27th Order. "KA" refers to the
suggestions of Commissioners Aquila and Kellner where date
changes are not automatic or where there is a need to move dates
to ensure compliance with the MOVE Act.
The initial point of analysis ls the suggestion that
wi th respect to the 2012 Non-Presidential Primary for Federal
Office the total number of days for the circulation of
designating petitions be reduced by ten (10) days from thirty-
eight (38) to twenty-eight (28) days (See Items KA-1 to KA-2 on
Exhibi t "A"). This is suggested as being consistent wi th how
New York handled the 1992 Elections when redistricting shortened
the available ballot access time. In 1992 the number of days
allowed for the circulation of designating peti tions was limi ted
to nineteen (19) days but correspondingly the number of
signatures required was cut in half from 5% of the enrollment to
2.5% (See Chapter 135 of the Laws of 1992 annexed hereto as
Exhibi t "Bn).
What the Kellner/Aquila Calendar recommends to the
Court at Item KA-2 is very similar, in that to compensate for the shortened circulation time, the number of signatures related
to designating peti tions for the federal primary required by
Election Law §6-136 should also be reduced. The designating
petition signature requirements would be reduced by 25% from 5%
to 3.75% of the enrolled voters of the poli tical party in the
poli tical uni t or the following, whichever is less:
The entire state (US Senate) 15,000 reduced to 11,250
(wi th at leas t 75 or 3. 75% of enrolled voters from each of onehalf of the Congressional Districts)
For any Congressional District 1250 is reduced to 938.
Items KA-3 through KA-6 are keyed to the suggested
dates from KA-1 and KA-2.
In recogni tion of the Passover Holiday, the time to
file designating peti tions is actually enlarged, from April 10,
2012 to April 16, 2012.
It is my understanding that the purpose of this
proceeding and the purpose of this Court's October 10, 2010 Order was to insure that UOCAVA voters not be disenfranchised by
the fact that ballots from the various boards of elections in
New York would not be sent out forty-five (45) days in advance
of the election as required by the MOVE Act but for which
compliance was waived in 2010.
As there were no changes proposed in the time to
collect Opportuni ty to Ballot (Wri te-In Primary Designations) or
Independent Nominating Petition dates, there was no change in
the numer of such signatures required. However Items KA-7
through KA-9 do change the Opportunity to Ballot filing dates.
Items KA-10 and KA-11 recognize the need to move
certain nominations for President and other federal offices to a
date which will accommodate MOVE Act compliance.
In a further attempt to provide for a reduction in the
time consumed in the ballot access process, Commissioners Aquila
and Kellner propose that the Court supersede Election Law §1-106
by imposing a further requirement that all certificates and
petitions of designation, certificates of acceptance or
declination of such designations i certificates of authorization
for such designations, certificates of disqualification,
certificates of substi tution for such designations and
objections and specifications to such certificates and petitions
filed by mail on the last day allowed for filing must be made by
overnight delivery and be received within one business day of
such last day to file. This would reduce the loss of time as a
filing makes its way by regular mail from distant ends of the
state (See Item KA-2) .
WHEREFORE affiant prays that the Court accept the
Kellner/Aquila Proposed Calendar and So Order same.

TABLE OF POLITICAL CALENDAR EVENTS ADJUSTED TO COMPLY WITH COURT ORDER IMPLEMENTING THE MOVE ACT
Federal MOVE Act requires military and special federal ballots to be sent out 45 days prior to an election for federal
office. Here's a summary ofthe key changes.
The following table shows the events that occur in the political calendar grouped by topic. The left hand column indicates the sections of law that would need to be superseded in order to comply with the Court Order to send out the military ballots by the 45th day before both the federal primary and the general election.
The table also applies the statutory rule of moving filing dates if the last day for filing shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the next business day shall become the last day for filing. Election Law §1-106
The issue of redistricting all state and federal district lines is not addressed by this calendar; however the calendar would be
negatively impacted by a failure to complete redistricting necessary for ballot access to occur.
This proposed calendar, once adopted, requires DOJ Section 5 pre-clearance which may also impact implementation.
Designating Petitions for Federal Office/Federal Primary Election:
. Total number of days to circulate is reduced by 10 days from 38 days to 28 days.
. First Date to circulate designating petition for federal office is March 20, 2012
. Dates to file designating petitions are April 10, 2012 to April
16, 2012. (Dates are adjusted for Passover)
. Notwithstanding the provisions of 6-136 of the election law, the number of signatures required on designating
petitions for federal offce in the year 2012 should be changed to:
a The Designating petitions signature requirements (excluding Opportunity to Ballot) for any federal offce
the voters ofthe entire state (US Senate) shall be reduced by 25%; as well as the number of
signatures required of enrolled voters in one-half of the congressional districts in the state should be reduced'by 25% from 100 signatures to 75 signatures. a The Designating petition signature requirements (excluding Opportunity to Ballot) for any federal office (Rep in Congress) for the Federal Primary shall be reduced by 25%.
a Such signature reductions do not apply to:
· OTB as the total number of days to remains 23 days. · Nominating petitions by independent bodies for federal office as those petition dates are not
altered by this plan.
Opportunity to Ballot Petitions for Federal Office/Federal Primary Election: . Total number of days to circulate OTB petitions for federal office remains 23 days
. First Date to circulate OTB petitions for federal office is changed to March 28, 2012
. Last date to file OTB is changed to April
Except further To provide for the reduction in time to process designations and allow an administrative process for
objections, and judicial review, we should require as part of this plan the following: For the 2012 Federal Primary Election, that all certificates and petitions of designation, certificates of acceptance
or declination of such designations, certificates of authorization for such designations, certificates of disqualification, certificates of substitution for such designations and objections and specifications of objections to such certificates and petitions required to be filed with the state board of elections or a board of elections outside of the city of new york shall be deemed timely filed and accepted for filng if sent by mail or overnight
delivery service (as defined in CPLR §2103(b)(6)) in an envelope postmarked or showing receipt by the overnight delivery service prior to midnight of the last day of filing, and received no later than one business days after the
last day to file such certificates, petitions, objections or specifications.
