2021 New York Laws EDN - Education Title 2 - School District Organization Article 41 - District Meetings Part 1 - General Provisions 2035 - Use of Voting Machines at School District Meetings or Elections.

§ 2035. Use   of  voting  machines  at  school  district  meetings  or   elections.   1. If the trustees or board  of  education  of  any  school   district  shall  so determine, voting machines may be used for recording   the vote on elections and questions, or either, at the  school  district   meetings  or elections, annual and special, or either, in such district.   Before any such machine is used at any such  meeting  or  election,  the   inspectors  of  election  shall examine it and see that all the counters   are set at zero (000) and that the ballot labels  are  properly  placed,   and that the machine is in all respects in proper condition for use. The   use  of  such machine shall be deemed a compliance with any provision of   law requiring the vote to be  by  ballot.  Such  trustees  or  board  of   education,  with  district  funds  available, may purchase the necessary   voting machine or machines; or, if the county board of  elections  shall   consent  thereto,  such machines belonging to the county or belonging to   the town in which any part of said school district shall be located, may   be used at any such meeting, the expense of delivery and  returning  and   setting up, and any other expense connected therewith, to be defrayed by   the school district; but such machines belonging to the county shall not   be  so  used  at  the  time or times when they may be required under the   election law.2. In common school districts the  manner  of  making  nominations  or   submitting  propositions  by anyone other than the trustees and in union   free school districts the manner of submitting  propositions  by  anyone   other  than  the board of education for the purpose of preparing ballots   for the machine shall be prescribed by a rule previously adopted by  the   trustees  or  board  of education; provided, however, that the petition,   certificate, declaration, notice or other paper required by  such  rule,   for  the  making  of  any  such nomination or submission, except as to a   question or proposition required by law to be stated in the published or   posted notice of the meeting shall be filed with the trustees  or  board   of  education not later than thirty days before the meeting or election.   Any nomination may be rejected by  the  trustees  if  the  candidate  is   ineligible  for  the  office or has declared his unwillingness to serve;   any proposition may be rejected by the trustees or board of education if   the purpose of the proposition is not within the power of the voters, or   where the expenditure of moneys is required by the proposition,  if  the   proposition  fails  to include the necessary specific appropriation. Any   such rule may be amended  from  time  to  time  and  may  state  that  a   reasonable   minimum   number   of  signatures  shall  be  required  for   submission. The trustees or board of education shall  cause  such  rule,   and amendments from time to time, to be printed for general distribution   in  the  district. Provided, however, that the provisions of any special   law relating to nominations and  elections  in  any  union  free  school   district  shall  continue  to  remain in force, and the manner of making   nominations and the conduct of meetings and elections, shall conform  to   such special law.3. Any proposition submitted pursuant to this section shall be subject   to  the  requirements  set  forth  in  subdivision  nine  of section two   thousand twenty-three-a of this part.
