Stoecklin v. Fennell

OPINION

THOMPSON, JUDGE:

Jack Stoecklin, a voter in the City of Newport, Kentucky, appeals from the opinion and order of the Campbell Circuit Court dismissing his action for injunctive relief and declaration of rights, and certifying the election of Elisabeth Fennell as a Newport City Commissioner. The sole dispute on appeal is whether by signing Fennell’s nomination petition early, before November 4, 2015, voters rendered their signatures ineffective, thus depriving Fen-nell of having a valid nomination petition and voiding her subsequent election.

Pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS)…
