2023 New York Laws › ELN - Election › Article 2 - Party Organization › 2-120 - Party Positions; to Be Filled at Primary Election, Time for Filing Statement as To.

§  2-120.  Party positions; to be filled at primary election, time for
filing statement as to.  1. The chairman of the county committee of each
party or such person as may be designated by the  rules  of  the  county
committee  shall  file  with  the  board of elections not later than two
weeks before the first day on which designating petitions for a  primary
election  may be signed, a statement of the party positions to be filled
by such party at such primary election, and the number of persons to  be
elected  to  each position; provided, however, that failure to file such
statement shall not be construed as a prerequisite to filing designating
petitions for such position.
* 1-a. (a) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, no change shall be
made  to  an  election  district  line  in   effect   as   of   February
twenty-seventh,   two  thousand  twenty-four  except  if  such  election
district is bisected by a change in a  congressional  district  boundary
line.  Such  change to an election district line shall be in conformance
with the provisions of this subdivision. Any  election  district  as  of
February  twenty-seventh,  two thousand twenty-four that is not bisected
by a change in a congressional district line shall not  be  changed  nor
renumbered  after  February  twenty-seventh,  two  thousand  twenty-four
unless specifically required by law.
(b) For the year two thousand twenty-four, when a party position is to
be  elected  from  an  election  district  altered  pursuant   to   this
subdivision  as  a result of a new congressional district line bisecting
such  election  district,  any  candidate  petitioning  for  such  party
position  therefrom  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a candidate from the new
election district created pursuant to this  subdivision  which  has  the
largest  portion  of  the population of such original election district.
Such larger portion shall retain the election  district  number  of  the
original  election  district.  The  portion  of  such  original election
district with the smaller  population  shall  also  be  a  new  election
district,  but  in the year two thousand twenty-four, no party positions
shall be elected therefrom. Party positions from  such  smaller  portion
shall  be  deemed  vacant  and  shall  be filled by the county committee
pursuant to subdivision one of section 2-118 of this  article  upon  the
reorganization  of  such party committee. Such smaller election district
shall be numbered by the next unused election  district  number  and  no
other election district shall be renumbered.
(c)  For  purposes of the requirement that a county committee shall be
constituted by the election of at least twenty-five percent of its  full
complement  pursuant  to  subdivision  three  of  section  2-104 of this
article, any newly created election district created  pursuant  to  this
subdivision shall be excluded from such twenty-five percent computation.

2.  If  the  party  positions to be filled are elected from a district
which includes parts of two or more counties, the chairman of the  state
committee of each party or such person as may be designated by the rules
of the state committee shall file such statement with the state board of
elections  and  the  board  of  elections  for  each  county within such
district.
3. In each county within the city of New  York,  and  in  each  county
outside  of such city where the rules of the county committee of a party
provide for the election of assembly district leaders, or  one  assembly
district leader and one associate assembly district leader from parts of
an  assembly  district, the statement filed by such committee shall also
set forth the election districts contained within each such part of such
assembly district.
