N.Y. Election Law § 15-110: Election districts

§ 15-110. Election districts. 1. A village shall constitute a single

election district for village elections. However, if at a general

village election the number of votes cast exceeds eight hundred, the

board of trustees, by resolution adopted before the next general village

election, may divide such village into election districts each

containing not more than eight hundred qualified voters for village

offices.

2. Following the establishment of two or more such districts, the

number thereof or their boundaries or both may be enlarged, diminished,

increased or decreased from year to year by resolution of the board of

trustees; provided, however, that, if there is more than one district,

no such district shall contain more than eight hundred qualified voters.

3. If village election districts are coterminous with election

districts established for general elections other than general village

elections, the limitations as to the number of qualified voters set

forth in subdivisions one and two of this section shall not be

applicable.

4. For the purposes of this section, the number of qualified voters in

each election district of a village shall be the average of the number

of persons who voted in such district in the three preceding general

village elections.

5. Any resolution adopted pursuant to the authority of this section

shall be adopted at least one hundred twenty days prior to the general

village election; shall specify the boundaries of each election district

created or altered; and shall be posted and published with the notice of

such election as required.
