§  2-110.  Committees  other  than state and county; creation. 1.  All  committees other than state and county committees shall be formed in the  manner provided for by the rules of the party.    2. In the city of New York there  shall  be  the  party  positions  of  assembly district leaders or, if the rules of the county committee shall  so  provide,  one  assembly  district  leader and one associate assembly  district leader. Outside the city  of  New  York  there  shall  be  such  positions  when the rules of the county committee shall so provide. Such  leaders shall be elected at primary elections as herein provided, within  every county in such city for each assembly district, or for  each  part  of  an assembly district within such county as may be designated for the  purpose in the rules of the county committee, and in every county of the  state outside of such city where the rules so provide, for such assembly  district or part thereof within such county as may be designated in such  rules for the purpose. Such assembly district leaders or  such  assembly  district  leader  and  associate  assembly  district  leader shall be of  opposite sexes, if the rules of the county committee shall  so  provide,  and  shall  be enrolled voters of the party residing within the assembly  district and, if the rules of the county  committee  shall  so  provide,  within  the  part  of  the  assembly  district  for which they are to be  elected, and shall be elected at the same primary election and  for  the  same  term  as  members  of  the  county  committee.  When any such rule  provides for equal representation of sexes,  the  designating  petitions  and  primary  ballots  shall  list  candidates  for such party positions  separately  by  sexes.  Each  shall  perform  such  duties,  powers  and  functions as the rules of the county committee may prescribe.  Vacancies  in such positions shall be filled by the members of the county committee  within  the assembly district or part thereof, as the case may be, until  the first primary election following the creation  of  such  vacancy  or  vacancies  for  which  the  period for circulating designating petitions  ends at  least  seven  days  after  the  creation  of  such  vacancy  or  vacancies,  at  which time the successor or successors shall be directly  elected as herein provided.  Assembly  district  leaders  and  associate  assembly  district leaders shall automatically be members and shall have  the right to participate and vote in meetings of the county committee or  any subcommittee thereof. The county committee may provide by its  rules  that  the members of the state committee, elected in accordance with the  provisions of  this  chapter,  shall  possess  the  duties,  powers  and  functions  of  an  assembly  district  leader  or  an associate assembly  district leader. In such event the provisions of this section shall  not  apply  to  the members of the state committee but upon his election as a  member of the state committee, such person shall be deemed to have  also  been  elected  as  an  assembly district leader or an associate assembly  district leader.    3. To  be  eligible  for  election  as  assembly  district  leader  or  associate  assembly  district  leader at the first election next ensuing  after a readjustment  or  alteration  of  the  units  of  representation  becomes  effective,  a  candidate  must only have been a resident of the  county in which the unit, or any part  thereof,  is  contained  for  the  twelve months immediately preceding the election.
