N.Y. Indian Law § 111: Conduct of elections

§ 111. Conduct of elections. The clerk of the tribe shall provide a

sufficient number of ballot-boxes so that there shall be a separate

ballot-box for each officer to be elected, the expense for which shall

be paid from the moneys due to the tribe from the state. The county

attorney or the sheriff of Franklin county and the members of the

council who are not then candidates for election shall preside at the

election, receive the ballots presented by the voters and deposit them

in the respective ballot-boxes. Such council members and county attorney

or sheriff shall each be entitled to receive for such services the sum

of twenty dollars per day for each day during which they are actually

employed with such duties, to be paid out of the moneys due such tribe

from the state. The polls of such election shall be open between the

hours of nine o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the afternoon.

A voter voting at such election must, if challenged, before depositing

his ballot, solemnly swear that he is at least eighteen years of age,

that he resides on the American side of the line dividing the United

States from Canada and that he is entitled to draw a share of the yearly

annuity moneys, which oath shall be administered by the clerk of the

tribe.
