N.Y. Election Law § 9-202: Canvass of primary returns by state board of elections; convention rolls

§ 9-202. Canvass of primary returns by state board of elections;

convention rolls. The state board of elections upon receipt by it from

boards of elections of the tabulated statements of votes at a primary

election required to be filed with it shall proceed forthwith to canvass

such statements. Upon the completion of the canvass it shall make,

certify and file in its office tabulated statements of the number of

votes cast for all the candidates for nomination to each public office

or for election to each party position, and the number of votes cast for

each such candidate. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes

shall be the nominee of his party for such office or shall be elected to

such party position, as the case may be, and the board, if requested,

shall furnish to the elected candidates a certificate of election. From

such certified statements of the votes for delegates and alternates

elected to a state or judicial district convention of any party, other

than a judicial district convention in the first, second, eleventh,

twelfth and thirteenth judicial districts, the state board shall

forthwith compile the roll of each such convention in duplicate and

transmit it, if for a state convention, to the chairman and secretary of

the state committee of the party, and if for a judicial district

convention, to the chairman and secretary of the committee which, by

party rules, is empowered to fix the time and place of the convention.

The roll of the convention shall list the candidates elected at a

primary in the order of the votes received by each candidate together

with the number of votes received by each such candidate. If there shall

have been no contested election for alternates, the names of the

alternates shall appear on the roll in the order in which their names

appear on the petition which designated them. The state board of

elections shall transmit copies of the certified statements of the votes

for delegates and alternates to a national convention of a party to the

chairman and secretary of the state committee of such party.
