6/11/08 N.Y. St. Reg. No. 2008-2
Establishing an additional site outside the city for the board of elections and moving certain staff and equipment does not constitute a removal pursuant to County Law § 216, but removing the public functions of the board of elections from the city office would constitute such a removal. While individual commissioners may work independently at a location outside the city, the functions of the commissioners acting as a board must remain in the city absent approval of a move at a referendum.
