STATE SENATE CANDIDATE, WHO REGISTERED TO VOTE IN WASHINGTON DC IN 2014, DID NOT MEET NEW YORK’S FIVE-YEAR CONTINUOUS RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT, THIRD DEPT REVERSED.

The Court of Appeals, reversing the 3rd Department, determined the fact that petitioner (Glickman), a candidate for the state senate, had registered to vote in Washington DC in 2014 precluded him, as a matter of law, from establishing the required five-year continuous residency in New York:

… [W]e conclude that Glickman lacked the requisite intent to establish residency for the five years required by our Constitution. A person is permitted to have more than one residence, but is not permitted to have more than one electoral residence. Under the Washington, D.C. law, a “qualified elector” is defined, in part, as one who attests that he or she “[h]as maintained a residence in the District for at least 30 days preceding the next election and does not claim voting residence or right to vote in any state or territory” (DC Code §§ 1-1001.02 [2] [C]; 1-1001.07 [a] [2]). Thus, when Glickman registered to vote in Washington, D.C., he was required to attest that Washington, D.C. was his sole electoral residence and that he did not maintain voting residence in any other state. These factors clearly demonstrate that Glickman broke the chain of New York electoral residency which did not recommence until he registered to vote in New York in 2015. Thus, he cannot claim New York residency for the past five years as required by the State Constitution, and Supreme Court properly invalidated the designating petitions on that basis. Matter of Glickman v Laffin, 2016 NY Slip Op 05842, CtApp 8-23-16
