Matter of Velez v. Nieves

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Aug 23, 1990
164 A.D.2d 931 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

August 23, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Levine, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

We find that there were sufficient valid signatures for the Supreme Court to validate the candidates' petitions. Further, there was insufficient proof to establish that the subscribing witnesses did not sign the respective subscribing witness statements on the attested dates. That these statements were dated one day later than the date the signatures were collected does not invalidate the petitions since, contrary to the appellants' contention, there is no requirement in the Election Law that the statement of the subscribing witness be signed on the same day as the signatures are collected.

The appellants' remaining contentions are without merit. Bracken, J.P., Rubin, Harwood, Rosenblatt and Miller, JJ., concur.
