N.Y. Election Law § 2-118: Committees; vacancies, how filled and effect of change of boundaries

§ 2-118. Committees; vacancies, how filled and effect of change of

boundaries. 1. In the case of the death, declination, enrollment in

another party, removal from the unit or removal from office of a member

of a committee, or the failure to nominate or elect a member, the

vacancy created thereby shall be filled by the remaining members of the

committee by the selection of an enrolled voter of the party qualified

for election from the unit of representation in which such vacancy shall

have occurred. When a state committee fills a vacancy pursuant to this

subdivision, the chairman or secretary of such committee shall, within

ten days after such vacancy is filled, file a certificate with the state

board of elections setting forth the name, address, and unit of

representation of the person so selected.

2. If the boundaries of any unit of representation be changed after

the election of members of a state committee or assembly district

leaders or associate assembly district leaders, the terms of members,

assembly district leaders or associate assembly district leaders elected

in such units of representation and the units of representation which

such members, assembly district leaders or associate assembly district

leaders represent shall continue until the next regularly scheduled

election for such party positions and until their successors are

elected.

3. The county committee, upon its organization after the election of

its members, or at any time thereafter, may determine that a vacancy or

vacancies in such committee exists by reason of an increase in the

number of election districts within the county occasioned by a change of

the boundaries of one or more election districts, taking effect after

such election, and may determine the districts that the elected members

shall represent until the next election at which members of such

committee are elected. A vacancy so determined to exist shall be filled

as provided in subdivision one.
