Matter of Gatto v. King

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Aug 23, 1995
218 A.D.2d 772 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

August 23, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Fredman, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the contention of the appellants, we agree with the Supreme Court that the candidate's address as listed on the designating petition substantially complied with Election Law § 6-132 (1). The petition was sufficient to identify the candidate to the signers and the fact that the candidate did not recite "Town of Yorktown" following his place of residence does not invalidate the petition (see, Matter of King v. Sunderland, 175 A.D.2d 896; Price v. Letteri, 89 A.D.2d 976). However, we respectfully disagree with the Supreme Court's finding that the determination of the Board of Elections was arbitrary and capricious. Balletta, J.P., Copertino, Hart and Krausman, JJ., concur.
