Opinion
August 19, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Gowan, J.).
Ordered that the order and judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The record reveals that the cover sheet of the instant designating petition lists seven Conservative Party candidates, all of whom seek public office within the same geographical area of the Town of Babylon. Immediately preceding the list of candidates is a paragraph which, in part, contains the following language: "I the undersigned * * * do hereby designate the following named person (or persons) as a candidate (or candidates) for the nomination of such party for public office or for election to a party position of such party". The cover sheet also includes a statement as to the total number of signatures and the total number of pages contained therein. Given these circumstances, we find that the cover sheet lists the specific office which each candidate is seeking and sufficiently indicates that all the signatures within the petition are for each of the seven candidates for their respective offices (see generally, Matter of Potter v. Dudek, 68 N.Y.2d 154; Matter of Keane v. New York State Bd. of Elections, 122 A.D.2d 966, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 605; Matter of Swift v. Lefever, 122 A.D.2d 922, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 605). As such, the cover sheet meets the requirement that "data must be set forth in a manner reasonably calculated to give the requisite notice and information to the reader" (Matter of Ruiz v. Saez, 68 N.Y.2d 154, 161; see, Election Law § 6-134). Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Thompson, Lawrence and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
