Holding The court held that Election Law § 15-108, rather than § 6-154, governs objections to nominating petitions in village-administered elections, meaning the objector was not required to personally serve the candidate. The Village Clerk satisfied the statutory duty to notify the candidate ‘forthwith’ by emailing the objections within one hour of filing, and the Board of Elections’ determination was valid.
The court’s words
This court holds the provisions of Election Law § 15-108 are controlling and govern the filing and adjudication of objections to nominating petitions made in connection with a village-administered election such as the one at issue herein.
90 Misc 3d 353, at the official text
Petitioner’s receipt of the objections within an hour of filing satisfies the Village’s obligation to notify her ‘forthwith’ pursuant to section 15-108 (10).
90 Misc 3d 353, at the official text
Accordingly, the court finds the BOE’s determination was properly conducted and will not be invalidated.
