Latest version.
  • 1. Upon the re-convening of the state board  of  canvassers
      or  any  county board of canvassers, or of the board of elections of the
      city of New York as a county or city board of canvassers, by order of  a
      court  of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of correcting an error
      or of performing a duty imposed by law or  by  an  order  of  the  court
      granted  pursuant to law, the meeting for that purpose shall be deemed a
      continuance of its regular session, and any new or corrected  statement,
      determination  or  certificate which is made to give effect to the order
      shall  stand  in  lieu  of  the  original  statement,  determination  or
      certificate.
        2. When a new or corrected statement or certificate, to give effect to
      an  order  of  the  court,  shall  vary  from  the original statement or
      certificate respecting the votes cast for an office for which the  state
      board  of  canvassers  is  required to canvass statements made by county
      boards, the board of elections forthwith shall transmit certified copies
      of the new or corrected statement or certificates to the state board  of
      elections.  The  state  board  of canvassers shall meet within five days
      after such a certified copy has been received  by  the  state  board  of
      elections.    From  such  certified  copy,  such  board shall make a new
      statement as to the votes for such office cast in the state or political
      subdivision in which such office is  filled,  and  shall  determine  and
      declare  what  person or persons whose votes are affected by such new or
      corrected statement have been, by the greatest  number  of  votes,  duly
      elected  to the office or offices. The state board of canvassers and the
      state board of elections shall, respectively, have the same  powers  and
      duties  in  respect  to  new  or  corrected statements that they have in
      respect to original statements.
