Court of Appeals of New York

In an action to compel the Board of Elections to conduct elections to fill a vacancy created in a state assembly district when its representative was convicted of various felonies, an order requiring that elections for the remainder of the member's unexpired term and the next regular term be held simultaneously at the next general election is reversed and dismissal ordered where the relevant statute clearly stated that no election was to be held to fill the office for the remainder of the unexpired term.
