N.Y. Election Law § 3-416: Election inspectors, poll clerks and election coordinators; removal

§ 3-416. Election inspectors, poll clerks and election coordinators;

removal. 1. Any election officer appointed pursuant to the provisions of

this chapter, may be removed for cause by the board making the

appointment. Unless such removal is for improper conduct, while such

officer is actually on duty on the day of registration or election, it

shall occur only after notice in writing to the officer to be removed.

Such notice shall set forth clearly the reasons for his removal.

Neglect to attend to the duties of the office shall be a cause for the

removal of any such officer.

2. It shall be the duty of the board making the appointment of an

election officer, to remove forthwith such officer without preferring

any charges and without notice to such officer, upon the written request

of the official of the political party who certified the name of such

election officer, or his successor. All such vacancies so created shall

be filled in the same manner as the original appointment was made. Any

election officer who shall at any time be appointed to fill a vacancy,

shall have that fact stated in his certificate of appointment and shall

hold office only during the unexpired term of his predecessor.

3. Any election inspector, poll clerk or election coordinator who is

removed from office for cause shall forfeit the compensation earned up

to the time of such removal.

4. An election inspector, poll clerk or election coordinator who is

removed for cause shall be ineligible to again serve in such capacity;

provided, however, that the board of elections may rehear the charges

against such person at any time and it may determine that such person

shall again be eligible for appointment if otherwise qualified.
