litical party may not enroll as a member of any other political party before the first day of the next registration except in the instance of one who has been an enrolled member of the same political party for five years. If by mistake such a person enrolls with a different political party, the enrollment may be cancelled upon application to the custodian of the primary records and the voter may again be enrolled with his party. One who becomes of age after the General Election may enroll as a member of a political party on or before the fourth Tuesday preceding an official primary election of the party. No voter may take part in any primary election of any party other than the party in which he is at that time enrolled. A voter already enrolled who moves into another election district in the same assembly district may at any time between February 1st and the thirtieth day before the annual primary election become enrolled therein as a member of the same party by making application to the proper official and filing an affidavit with the custodian of primary records.

Casting a Vote. A voter on entering the appointed polling place to vote at an election, gives his name and address to the election inspectors. If his right to vote is not challenged, the voter proceeds to the machine, or where ballots are used, a ballot or set of ballots is presented by the ballot clerks. At the head of each ballot are instructions for marking it. The marked ballot is returned to the inspector in charge of the ballot box. If the ballot or set of bal

lots is spoiled others may be obtained, not exceeding three sets.

Time Allowed Employees to Vote. Any person entitled to vote at a General Election may absent himself from his service or employment for a period of two hours during the time that the polls are open. If the voter notifies his employer of such intended absence, time is designated by the employer and the voter is absent during the designated hours; or if the employer upon the day of such notice makes no designation and the voter is absent from business during any two consecutive hours while the polls are open, no deduction shall be made from his usual salary and no other penalty shall be imposed by the employer for such absence.

Party Committees. One member is elected from each assembly district in even-numbered years to the party state committee. One member is elected from each election district annually to the party county committee. Delegates and alternates to the national party convention are elected from congressional districts and from the state at large, the number from the state at large being limited to four delegates and alternates.

Designation of Candidates. Designation of candidates for party nomination or for election to party positions is by petition only, the number of signatures required varying according to the office and population of the community. No enrolled voter shall join in designating a greater number of candidates for any position than the number to be elected

thereto. All such petitions must be filed not earlier than the fifth Tuesday and not later than the fourth Tuesday preceding the primary at which the candidates are to be voted for.
