§ 4-118. Notice of primary election; publication of by board of

elections. 1. Each county board of elections shall publish in the week

ending on the Saturday preceding a primary election a notice specifying

the day of such primary election, the hours during which it will be held

and the public offices for which nominations are to be made and the

party positions which are to be filled at such primary elections. Such

publication shall be in two newspapers published within the county. If

the county contains a city or cities, at least one of such newspapers

shall be published in the city, or the largest city, if there be more

than one.

2. The board of elections of every county containing a city, other

than the board of elections of the city of New York, shall publish on

the day of each primary election, in two newspapers within each city in

such county, representing the major political parties, a list of the

polling places designated within such city, referring to the election

districts by their numbers and wards or assembly districts. Such list

shall identify those polling places which do not provide access to

handicapped voters. If the newspaper is an evening newspaper, such

notice shall be published on the day prior to such primary election. If

in an election district the primary of a party is uncontested, such

notice shall include, in a place where they clearly refer to the proper

district and polling place, the words "........................(insert

name of party) primary uncontested." If in an election district the

primaries of all parties are uncontested, such notice shall include, in

lieu of the address of the polling place, the words "Polls not open. All

primaries uncontested." Such publication in such newspapers by the board

of elections of the city of New York shall be at least one-half page in

size and in lieu of the information otherwise required by this

subdivision, shall set forth both in English and such other languages as

such board deems appropriate the date of the election, the hours the

polls are open and the phone number to call for information about

location of polling places, their accessibility to the handicapped and

any other subjects which such board deems appropriate.
