DESCRIPTION OF OFFICE SOUGHT WAS SUFFICIENT, DESIGNATING PETITION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INVALIDATED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the designating petition should not have been invalidated because the description of the office sought was sufficient:

​

“Election Law § 6-132 (1) requires that each sheet of a designating petition state the public office or party position sought by the candidate'” … . Since many public offices and party positions are susceptible to a variety of descriptions, the ” description will be deemed adequate so long as the petition, read as a whole, is sufficiently informative . . . so as to preclude any reasonable probability of confusing or deceiving the signers, voters or board of elections'” … .

Here, the public office sought by Coll, Nassau County Legislator, 15th Legislative District, was described on the designating petition as “15th District Nassau County Legislature,” which was sufficiently informative so as to preclude any reasonable probability of confusing or deceiving the signers, voters, or board of elections … . Matter of Fochtman v Coll, 2017 NY Slip Op 06414, Second Dept 9-11-17
