INTRODUCTION
   It is very gratifying that the first two editions of this book received such positive reviews in The New York Times, The New York Law Journal, The New York State Bar Journal, Ballot Access News and the Election Law Journal. More importantly, MODERN ELECTION LAW has been embraced by the bench and bar, and has increasingly been cited in lawyers’ briefs and courts’ decisions. (In a supreme irony, a court recently quoted the book at length — and held against my client!) Journalists have also routinely relied on it to figure out what the election law provides when, for example, public officials get convicted or resign; what the eligibility requirements are for our many city, state, county, town and village offices; how special elections work; and the intricacy of campaign finance and tax laws. Many candidates and political operatives have confided that they, too, keep a copy nearby to make sure they are following the law.
   I am very pleased that the book is being put to such good use.
   This Third Edition is greatly expanded from the earlier versions, with up-to-date citations through December 2011, and brand new or revised chapters. I have added to the book in-depth explanations of campaign finance laws; the way Initiative and Referendum work in our state, cities, town and villages; an historical analysis of election law relating to the nomination and election of President of the United States; and an entire chapter devoted to New York’s new Election Reform and Modernization Act. Also included are samples of a variety of pleadings, as well as Board of Elections and campaign finance forms for New York State and New York City. There are also very detailed indexes to assist the reader in locating particular subjects, cases, articles, statutes or political personalities.

Topics covered include:

• The Petitioning Process
• Eligibility and Residency Issues
• Vacancies, Convictions, Disqualifications and Other Extraordinary Situations
• Election Day and Post-Election Day Issues
• Recounts under the new Election Law Reform and Modernization Act
• The Judicial Process
• Campaign Finance Law in New York State and New York City
• Independent Expenditures and SuperPACs
• Initiative and Referendum in New York
• The Nomination and Election of the President of the United States

Also includes the NYS Board of Election Rules, the NYS Election Law, plus the following forms:

• Litigation Forms
• Board of Election Forms
• Campaign Finance Registration Forms
• NYC Campaign Finance Board Forms

This New York Election Law treatise includes election forms and reports, tables of cases, statutes and other authorities. The New York State Board of Election Rules and Regulations and the updated consolidated NY Election Law as well. One loose-leaf volume updated annually.
