AN  ACT  to  amend  the  election  law, in relation to the canvassing of
  primary returns by the board of elections

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

  Section  1.  Subdivision  2  of  section 9-200 of the election law, as
amended by chapter 29 of the  laws  of  1983,  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  2.  The board forthwith upon the completion of the canvass for members
of a state committee and delegates and alternates to a  national,  state
or  judicial  district  convention, shall transmit to the state board of
elections a certificate stating the name and residence of each member of
a state committee and delegate and alternate  elected  from  a  district
wholly within the jurisdiction of such board, except that, in respect to
a  judicial  district  convention  in the first, second, eleventh [and],
twelfth AND THIRTEENTH  judicial  districts,  the  board  of  elections,
instead  of transmitting such certificate, shall compile the roll of the
convention and transmit it to the chairman or secretary of the committee
which, by party rules, is empowered to fix the time  and  place  of  the
convention.   The board of elections shall send by mail to each delegate
and alternate elected a notice of his election. The certificate or  roll
of  the  convention shall list the delegates and alternates elected at a
primary in the order of the votes received by each  delegate  or  alter-
nate,  with  the  delegate  or alternate receiving the highest number of
votes listed first. Tie votes shall be indicated in a manner  prescribed
by  the  state board of elections. If there shall have been no contested
election for alternates, the names of the alternates shall appear on the
certificate or roll in the order in which their names  appeared  on  the
petition which designated them.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
