Opinion
September 21, 1984
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Oneida County, Inglehart, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Doerr, Boomer and Moule, JJ. (Decided Aug. 27, 1984.)
Order unanimously reversed, without costs, and petition dismissed. Memorandum: Special Term improperly validated five signatures on respondent's designating petition. The failure of the signers of the designating petition to provide the "town or city" of residence is a fatal defect and renders the designating petition invalid ( Matter of McKeever v Hornidge, 306 N.Y. 876; Matter of Scamacca v Mahoney, 104 A.D.2d 730).
