  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  Subdivision 1 of section 5-604 of  the  election  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  709  of  the  laws  of 1996, is amended to read as
follows:
  1. The board of elections shall also cause to be  published  for  each
election  district  a  complete  list  of  the registered voters of each
election district.   Such list shall, in  addition  to  the  information
required  for  registration  lists, include the party enrollment of each
voter.  At least as many copies of such list shall be  prepared  as  the
required minimum number of registration lists.
  Lists  for  all  the election districts in a ward or assembly district
may be bound together in one volume.  The board of elections shall  also
cause  to  be published a complete list of names and residence addresses
of the registered voters, including the party enrollment of each  voter,
for  each town and city over which the board has jurisdiction. The names
for each town and city may be arranged according to street and number or
alphabetically.  Such lists shall be published before the first  day  of
April  [except  that  in  a year in which any primary is held before the
first day of July, such lists shall be published before the first day of
March].  The board shall keep at least five copies for public inspection
at each main office or branch office of the board.   Surplus  copies  of
the  lists  shall be sold at a charge not exceeding the cost of publica-
tion.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
