Opinion
April 18, 1980
Judgments, Supreme Court, Bronx County, each entered on April 9, 1980, reversed, on the law, without costs and without disbursements, and the petition validated. In our view, a subscriber may sign petitions for as many candidates as there are vacancies for which he can vote. (See Matter of Gilmore v Kugler, 21 A.D.2d 293.)
Concur — Fein, Sandler and Silverman, JJ.
Kupferman, J.P., and Birns, J., dissent and would affirm. The board of education and board of elections rule is a reasonable one in order to require a showing of substantial support for a candidate and in the interest of practicalities of administration, particularly in school board elections where there are neither parties nor slates.
