Opinion
October 5, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Scarpino, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the petitioner's contentions, there is no requirement that a candidate at a primary election be a resident of the district at the time of the filing of the petitions nominating or designating him or her as a candidate in the primary. The only residency requirement is that the candidate be a resident at the time of the general election (see, Election Law § 6-122; Public Officers Law § 3; Westchester County Charter § 107.31; see also, Matter of Weidman v. Starkweather, 80 N.Y.2d 955, 956; Matter of Marino v. Board of Elections, 199 A.D.2d 505; Matter of Clark v. McCoy, 196 A.D.2d 607). Sullivan, J.P., Pizzuto, Altman and Hart, JJ., concur.
