Description
The appeal comes directly to this court (CPLR 5601, subd. [b], par. 2) from a Supreme Court judgment which declared ""unconstitutional and null and void"" section 150 of the State Election Law and section 1 of article II of the State Constitution, insofar as they demand in the case of naturalized citizens an additional 90-day delay period before first vote. The New York State constitutional provision so invalidated makes eligible for voting every citizen of the age of 21 years ""who shall have been a citizen for ninety days"" (besides specifying for all citizens time requirements as to residence in the State, county, city or village and election district respectively). The challenged statute (Election Law, § 150) spells out the additional limitation even more precisely since besides listing in great detail the qualifications for voting it adds this: ""If a naturalized citizen, such person must, in addition to the foregoing provisions, have been naturalized at least ninety days prior to the day of election.""
