2021 New York Laws ELN - Election Article 5 - Registration and Enrollment of Voters Title 3 - Enrollment 5-302 - Enrollment; Completion.

§  5-302.  Enrollment;  completion. 1. Before placing the registration   poll record in the poll ledger or in the computer generated registration   list, the board shall enter in the space provided therefor the  name  of   the party designated by the voter on his application form, provided such   party  continues  to  be  a  party as defined in this law. If such party   ceases to be a party at any time, either before or after such enrollment   is so entered, the enrollment of such voter shall be deemed to be  blank   and  shall  be entered as such until such voter files an application for   change of enrollment pursuant to the provisions  of  this  chapter.  The   board  shall  enter the date of such entry and affix initials thereto in   the space provided.2. If the application  form  is  for  a  voter  who  has  changed  his   enrollment  or  a  voter who has previously registered and not enrolled,   then the board of  elections  shall  compare  the  information  and  the   signature  appearing  on each application form received with that on the   registration poll record of the applicant and if found to correspond  in   all  particulars  shall, not earlier than the Tuesday following the next   general election and not later than the thirtieth day preceding the last   day for publishing enrollment lists, proceed in the manner specified  in   subdivision  one  hereof  to  enter  such  enrollment  on  such  voter's   registration poll card.3. If marks are found in more than one of the boxes or circles  or  if   no  marks  are  found  in any of the boxes or circles of any application   form, the voter who used the application form shall be deemed not to  be   enrolled,  and  the  words  blank  or void shall be entered in the space   reserved on his registration poll record for the  name  of  a  political   party  or  in  the  computer  files  from  which  the computer generated   registration lists are prepared. However if such application  form  sets   forth  the address of prior registration and such prior registration had   not been previously cancelled, the party enrollment, if  any,  which  is   part  of  such prior registration shall be entered in such space on such   registration poll record or in such computer files.4. Registration poll records of voters  whose  registrations  are  not   rejected by the board of elections shall forthwith be placed in the poll   ledger  or such voters' names shall forthwith be entered in the computer   files from which the computer generated registration lists are prepared,   except that the registration poll record of an otherwise qualified voter   who registers after the twenty-fifth day before a primary election shall   not be placed in such poll ledger or such voters' names shall not appear   on such a computer generated registration list until after such  primary   and  except  further  that the registration poll record of a voter whose   previous registration was cancelled pursuant to the provisions  of  this   chapter  after  the previous general election and who registers pursuant   to the provisions of this chapter after such cancellation shall  not  be   placed  in  such  poll  ledger or such voters' names shall not appear on   such a computer generated registration list until after the fall primary   election, unless such voter has enrolled with  the  same  party  as  the   enrollment on the registration which was so cancelled.The registration poll record of a voter who is not eligible to vote in   a  primary  election  but  who is eligible to vote in a special election   held before such primary election shall be placed in its  regular  place   in  the poll ledger or in a special section of such poll ledger for such   special election as the board of elections,  in  its  discretion,  shall   provide,  or such name shall appear in its regular place on the computer   generated registration list prepared for use in such  special  election.   Such  poll  record  shall  be  removed from such poll ledger or computer   generated registration list immediately after such special election. 5. During the period preceding the ensuing primary election, the board   of elections shall maintain as a public record a list of all enrollments   entered, transferred  or  corrected,  and  not  contained  in  the  last   published  enrollment  list.  Such  supplemental  enrollment  list shall   contain the same information and shall be distributed in the same manner   as  the original enrollment list not later than the fifteenth day before   the primary election.
