N.Y. Election Law § 9-218: Proceedings by boards of canvassers to carry into effect a court order

§ 9-218. Proceedings by boards of canvassers to carry into effect a

court order. 1. Upon the re-convening of the state board of canvassers

or any county board of canvassers, or of the board of elections of the

city of New York as a county or city board of canvassers, by order of a

court of competent jurisdiction, for the purpose of correcting an error

or of performing a duty imposed by law or by an order of the court

granted pursuant to law, the meeting for that purpose shall be deemed a

continuance of its regular session, and any new or corrected statement,

determination or certificate which is made to give effect to the order

shall stand in lieu of the original statement, determination or

certificate.

2. When a new or corrected statement or certificate, to give effect to

an order of the court, shall vary from the original statement or

certificate respecting the votes cast for an office for which the state

board of canvassers is required to canvass statements made by county

boards, the board of elections forthwith shall transmit certified copies

of the new or corrected statement or certificates to the state board of

elections. The state board of canvassers shall meet within five days

after such a certified copy has been received by the state board of

elections. From such certified copy, such board shall make a new

statement as to the votes for such office cast in the state or political

subdivision in which such office is filled, and shall determine and

declare what person or persons whose votes are affected by such new or

corrected statement have been, by the greatest number of votes, duly

elected to the office or offices. The state board of canvassers and the

state board of elections shall, respectively, have the same powers and

duties in respect to new or corrected statements that they have in

respect to original statements.
