2021 New York Laws ELN - Election Article 5 - Registration and Enrollment of Voters Title 6 - Filing and Custody of Registration Records 5-601 - Registration Records; Physically Disabled Voters.

§  5-601.  Registration  records;  physically  disabled  voters.  1. A   physically disabled voter whose polling place is located in  a  building   that  is  not accessible shall be entitled to vote in any other election   district  whose  polling  place  is  located  in  a  building  which  is   accessible,  provided  that  the  candidates and ballot proposals on the   ballot in such other election district are the  same  as  those  on  the   ballot in the election district in which such voter resides.2.  A written application by a disabled voter to have his registration   record transferred to an  election  district  which  has  an  accessible   polling  place  shall  be  valid  for  an  election  occurring more than   fourteen days after it is received by the board of elections and, if the   voter is  permanently  disabled,  for  all  subsequent  elections.  Such   application  may specify the election district to which the voter wishes   his registration records transferred.3. The board of  elections  shall  keep  all  such  applications  from   permanently  disabled  voters  on  file  at its office.   Not later than   twelve days before each election, the board shall transfer  the  records   of  each  voter for whom it has such an application and who continues to   be registered from the  address  on  such  application  to  an  election   district  in  the  polling  place  specified in such application. If the   application does not specify  such  an  election  district,  or  if  the   election district so specified is not one to which such records properly   may  be  transferred  for  such  election,  the board of elections shall   transfer such record to the election district among those  to  which  it   may  properly  be transferred for such election, which is located in the   accessible polling place closest to the residence of the applicant.4. If such registration records are in the form of  registration  poll   records,   the   board   of  elections,  before  transferring  any  such   registration record, shall make a photocopy  thereof.  Such  photocopies   shall  be  kept  on  file  in  the  offices  of  such board in case such   registration poll record is lost.5. Upon removing such a registration poll record from a  poll  ledger,   the  board  of  elections shall insert in such poll ledger, at the place   where such registration poll record was filed, a form  giving  the  name   and  address of the voter, stating that the registration poll record was   moved pursuant to the provisions of this section and giving  the  number   of  the  election  district  to  which such registration poll record was   moved and the location of the polling place for such election district.6. If such registration records are  kept  in  the  form  of  computer   generated  registration  lists,  the board of elections at the time such   registration record is transferred, shall cause to  be  entered  on  the   computer  generated  registration  at  the place where such registration   record would have appeared, the  name  and  address  of  the  voter  but   without  the  computer reproduced facsimile of the voter's signature and   either a notation that such record was moved pursuant to the  provisions   of  this  section  together  with the number of the election district to   which such record was moved and the location of the  polling  place  for   such  election  district  or  a notation stating where, in such computer   generated registration list, such information is provided.7. Not later  than  ten  days  before  each  election,  the  board  of   elections  shall mail to each voter who has made application pursuant to   the provisions  of  this  section,  by  first  class  mail,  information   specifying the number and location of the election district to which his   records  have  been transferred or that there is no election district to   which such records may properly be transferred which is  located  in  an   accessible polling place.8.  If  the  board determines that there is no election district in an   accessible polling place to which such voter's record  may  properly  be    transferred for a particular election, it shall treat the application of   such  voter  as  an application for an absentee ballot for such election   and forthwith mail such absentee ballot to such voter at  his  residence   address  together  with the notice required by subdivision seven of this   section.9. The board of elections shall compile a list, arranged  by  election   districts  of  residence, of the names and addresses of all voters whose   registration records have been moved pursuant to the provisions of  this   section   and  the  number  of  the  election  district  to  which  such   registration record was moved. Not later than six days  before  election   day, the board of elections shall send a copy of such list to the county   chairman of each party. Such list shall be a public record at the office   of such board of elections.10.  The  state  board of elections shall prescribe a standard form of   application for use under this section and all forms necessary to  carry   out the provisions of this section.
