ALBANY - The state Board of Elections gave tentative approval yesterday to regulations governing new machines that are supposed to replace that icon of New York voting - the lever-action model.

A critic immediately charged that the board was shutting out the public and that New York could wind up with voting machines that might have security concerns.

The regulations will allow electronic voting machines, including touch-screen models, and optical scan machinery as long as it includes a backup system that would serve disabled voters.

The board action will lead to a 45-day public comment period after which the board can modify the regulations."

Now,. How can I find out when this "45 day" public comment period will start?
