PETITION SIGNATURES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INVALIDATED ON THE GROUND THAT A VOTER’S ADDRESS ON THE PETITION WAS DIFFERENT FROM THAT VOTER’S ADDRESS ON THE VOTER REGISTRATION RECORD (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined petition signatures should not have been invalidated because a voter’s address on the petition differed from the address on a voter’s registration:

Contrary to the Supreme Court’s determination, “[t]hat the address appearing on a voter’s registration record differs from the address provided by that voter on the petition he or she signed does not provide a basis for invalidating that voter’s signature” … . It is undisputed that of the 15 voters whose signatures were invalidated on that ground, the respective addresses provided on the designating petition by 11 of those voters, and the addresses listed on their respective registration cards, though different, were all located within the 23rd Senatorial District. It is also undisputed that the signatures on the registration cards of those 11 voters matched their respective signatures on the designating petition. Matter of Robleto v Gowda, 2020 NY Slip Op 02745, Second Dept 5-7-20
