N.Y. Election Law § 16-110: Proceedings as to enrollment

§ 16-110. Proceedings as to enrollment. 1. The supreme court, by a

justice thereof within the judicial district, or the county court, by a

judge within his county, in a proceeding instituted by a duly enrolled

voter of a party, not later than the second Friday before a primary

election, shall direct the enrollment of any voter with such party to be

cancelled if it appears that any material statement in the declaration

of the voter upon which he was enrolled is false or that the voter has

died or does not reside at the address on his registration record.

2. The chairperson of the county committee of a party with which a

voter is enrolled in such county, or, in the absence of a county

committee in such county, a person elected for such purpose by a

majority vote of the state committee of the party at a regular or

special meeting of the party at which a quorum is present, may, upon a

written complaint by an enrolled member of such party in such county and

after a hearing held by such person or by a sub-committee appointed by

such person upon at least two days' notice to the voter, personally or

by mail, determine that the voter is not in sympathy with the principles

of such party. The Supreme Court or a justice thereof within the

judicial district, in a proceeding instituted by a duly enrolled voter

of the party at least ten days before a primary election, shall direct

the enrollment of such voter to be cancelled if it appears from the

proceedings before such person or sub-committee, and other proofs, if

any, presented, that such determination is just.

3. The state committee of a party may elect, by majority vote at a

regular or special meeting at which a quorum is present, a person or

persons to receive complaints, hold hearings and institute proceedings

under this section for any county or counties in which there is no

county committee of such party.
