Opinion
August 20, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Barasch, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, the application is denied, the proceeding is dismissed, and the Board of Elections of the City of New York is directed to restore the appellants to the appropriate ballots.
The Supreme Court erred in invalidating all of the signatures that were witnessed by a certain Commissioner of Deeds. Only three of the signatures were properly invalidated ( see, Matter of O'Dea v. Bell, 242 A.D.2d 349 [decided herewith]).
Additionally, the cover sheets and attached schedules substantially complied with the regulations of the New York State Board of Elections and the New York City Board of Elections ( see, Election Law § 6-134; Matter of Ruiz v. Saez, 68 N.Y.2d 154, 162).
Bracken, J.P., Copertino, Altman, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
