N.Y. Election Law § 7-200: Adoption and use of voting machine or system

§ 7-200. Adoption and use of voting machine or system. 1. The board of

elections of the city of New York and other county boards of elections

may adopt any kind of voting machine or system approved by the state

board of elections, or the use of which has been specifically authorized

by law; and thereupon such voting machine or system may be used at any

or all elections and shall be used at all general or special elections

held by such boards in such city, town or village and in every contested

primary election in the city of New York and in every contested primary

election outside the city of New York in which there are one thousand or

more enrolled voters qualified to vote. No more than two types of voting

machines or systems may be used by any local board of elections at a

single election. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this

subdivision, any local board of elections may borrow or lease for use on

an experimental basis for a period of not more than one year each,

voting machines or systems of any type approved by the state board of

elections.

2. For five years after any voting machine or system of a type

approved by the state board of elections pursuant to the election reform

and modernization act of 2005 is first used in any election district,

the local board of elections which owns such machine or system shall

provide a model or diagram of such voting machine or system for each

polling place in which any such election district is located. Such

models or diagrams shall meet the standards set forth in regulations

promulgated by the state board of elections.

3. Whenever there are more offices to be elected than can be

accommodated on the voting machine or system or more candidates have

been nominated for an office than can be accommodated on the voting

machine or system, the local board of elections may provide for the use

of separate paper ballots for such offices, when other offices are voted

for on voting machines or systems by voters of the same election

district.
