Latest version.
  • 1. The board
      or body authorized to designate places for  registration  in  any  city,
      other  than  the  city  of  New  York,  shall  publish  on  each  day of
      registration a list of the places  for  registration  designated  within
      such  city  in  two  newspapers  published in such city. The lists shall
      refer to the election districts by their numbers and wards  or  assembly
      districts.  Such  lists shall identify those polling places which do not
      provide access to handicapped voters. The board of elections of the city
      of New York shall publish in at least two newspapers  in  such  city,  a
      notice,  at  least  one-half  page  in  size,  in English and such other
      languages as such board deems appropriate  which  shall  set  forth  the
      dates  and  hours  of  registration  and  the  phone  number to call for
      information about location of polling places, their accessibility to the
      handicapped, applications for absentee ballots and  any  other  subjects
      which  such  board  deems  appropriate. So far as is consistent with the
      provisions of this section, one of such newspapers in each such city or,
      in each county of the city of New York,  shall  represent  each  of  the
      major  political  parties  and  shall have a large circulation affording
      wide publicity. If the newspaper is  an  evening  newspaper  the  notice
      shall  be  published  on the last day, other than a Sunday, prior to any
      such day of registration.
        2. The board or body authorized to designate places  for  registration
      in  any town may publish within one week next preceding the first day of
      registration in a newspaper or newspapers designated by  such  board  or
      body,  a list of places of registration within such town, a statement of
      the days and hours of  registration  and  a  brief  description  of  the
      boundaries  of  each  election  district  in  the town. Such lists shall
      identify those polling places which do not provide access to handicapped
      voters. The amount to be paid for any of such publications shall  be  at
      the  rate prescribed by section seventy-a of the public officers law. In
      no publication, however, shall any type smaller than agate be used.  The
      amount to be paid for all such publications shall be a town charge.
