Opinion
August 21, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Tanenbaum, J.).
Judgment reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, application denied, proceeding dismissed, and the Board of Elections is directed to place the names of appellants on the appropriate ballot.
The Election Law does not require that the certificate of acceptance filed by one who is designated for a nonjudicial office by a party of which he is not a duly enrolled member specify the date of the primary election ( see, Election Law § 6-146; cf. Election Law § 6-132; Matter of Braxton v Smolinski, 89 A.D.2d 1053, lv denied 57 N.Y.2d 605). Thus, Special Term erred in granting petitioner's application to invalidate the designating petitions of appellants on the ground that their certificates of acceptance omitted that information.
We have considered petitioner's contentions that the designating petitions should be invalidated on the basis of certain notarial deficiencies and find said contentions to be without merit ( see, Executive Law § 137; Carnegie Hill Realties Sec. v Surowitz, 150 N.Y.S.2d 850). Brown, J.P., O'Connor, Weinstein, Kunzeman and Kooper, JJ., concur.
