Validating Petition Not Sufficiently Particularized

In determining a proceeding to validate a petition designating a candidate for county executive should have been dismissed, the Second Department wrote:

“A validating petition must specify the individual determinations of a board of elections that the candidate claims were erroneous, including the signatures that the candidate claims were improperly invalidated” … . Here, the validating petition was not sufficiently particularized to give notice of which determinations were claimed to be erroneous or which signatures … were improperly invalidated … . Matter of Lacorte v Cytryn, 2013 NY slip Op 05632, 2nd Dept 8-14-13
