Sharpe United States Distiict Court for the Northern District of New York James T. Foley United States Courthouse 445 Broadway, Room 441 Albany, New York 12207 Re: United States v. State of New York, et. al Civil Action No. 1O-CV-1214 (GLS) Dear Judge Sharpe: Pursuant to this Court's Order of Janaury 27,2012 the State Board of Elections was directed to provide the Court with a proposed non-presidential federal piimary election calendar implementing the Court's selection of June 26, 2012 as the non-presidential federal primary date. As Your Honor is well aware, the State Board of Elections is comprised of four (4) members and pursuant to Election Law §3-1 OO( 4) an affirmative vote of th ree (3) Commissioners is required for any Board action. As there is not agreement among the Commissioners as to all ofthe statutory and administrative election- related deadlines which should be set by the Court in any Order implementing the Court's Janaury 2ih Decision and Order, I must file, on behalf of Commissioners Aquila and Kellner the enclosed Proposed Calendar for the 2012 Non Presidential Primary Election. As Your Honor can see, there is some agreement within the State Board as to the actual movement of dates where those dates are simply triggered by a number of days back from the primary. Where there is disagreement is in the role of the State Board, as an administrative agency, in proposing to the Court changes in state statutes to accommodate the requirements of the MOVE Act. The enclosed enclosed Proposed Calendar for the 2012 Non Presidential Primary Election submitted on behalf of Commissioners Aquila and Kellner presents to the Court their best estimate as to what state statutes must be superceded and offers to the Court their views as to the manner in which they should be superceded. Perhaps the best example of this is in the diminution of the number of days for circulating designating petitions, the proportionate diminution in the required number of signatures which must be collected and the expansion of the filing dates to accommodate Passover. The goal of the Aquila/Kellne r Calendar is to provide the Court with workable dates which, if adopted, will result in a successful effort at Case 1:10-cv-01214- GLS-RFT Document 61 Filed 02/01/12 Page 1 of 22
