PARTY OBJECTING TO CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES’ NOMINATING PETITION DID NOT PROPERLY NOTIFY THE CANDIDATE OF THE OBJECTIONS, STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS SHOULD NOT HAVE INVALIDATED THE PETITION (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing the State Election Board, determined the nominating petition of a candidate for the US House of Representatives should not have been invalidated because the objecting party did not comply with the requirements for notifying the candidate of the objections:

9 NYCRR 6204.1 (b) provides that “[n]o specifications of objections to any petition will be considered by the [State B]oard unless the objector filing the specifications personally delivers or mails by registered or certified mail a duplicate copy of the specification[s] to each candidate for public office named in the petition . . . on or before the date of filing of [the] specifications with the [State B]oard” … . Suffice it to say, the elemental prerequisite of any service requirement is that a party is served with the correct documents … . Plainly, this did not occur. Here, petitioner was not served with “a duplicate copy” of the specifications of objections, but was instead served with specifications of objections related to another candidate. Moreover, even assuming, without deciding, that the service upon petitioner of an order to show cause and supporting papers seeking to invalidate the nominating petition — which contained the specifications of objections related to petitioner — could serve to remedy the original defect, such service was not effectuated “on or before the date of filing of [the] specifications with the [State B]oard” (9 NYCRR 6204.1 [b]). Further, the fact that petitioner thereafter actually received the correct specifications is irrelevant, as “notice received by means other than those authorized . . . cannot serve to bring [the objections] within the jurisdiction of the [State Board]”…. Inasmuch as 9 NYCRR 6204.1 (b) is “'mandatory and may not be disregarded,'” we are constrained to conclude that “[Liscum's] failure to abide by the mandatory service provisions thereof deprived the [State] Board of jurisdiction to properly consider the objections and thereafter rule to invalidate the petition” … . Matter of Neal v Liscum, 2018 NY Slip Op 06070, Third Dept 9-17-18
