THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE THE DATE OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN THE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION DID NOT INVALIDATE IT (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the fact that the date of the primary election was not stated on the certificate of authorization did not invalidate it:

… [T]he statute at issue here, Election Law § 6-120 (3), does not specifically prescribe that the date of the primary election be specified in the certificate of authorization … . We therefore conclude that there was substantial compliance with section 6-120 (3) inasmuch as the omission of the date of the primary election was ” ‘neither a defect invalidating the certificate nor a matter presenting an opportunity for prejudice or possibility of fraud’ ” … . Further, “[t]here is no question that the objectives of Election Law § 6-120 (3) were met here, as no issue was raised as to whether the subject authorization expressed the will of the party committee of the political subdivision involved” … . Matter of Kowal v Bargnesi, 2021 NY Slip Op 03014, Fourth Dept 5-11-21
