Battista v. Power

New York Court of Appeals

Decided October 19, 1961Published

1Opinion of the Court

Order affirmed, without costs. The courts had power to direct the board to receive the certificate of acceptance as corrected (Matter of Lauer v. Board of Elections, 262 N. Y. 416; Matter of Smith v. Board of Trustees of Vil. of Fort Edward, 1 N Y 2d 690). Failure to serve the objectors within the time limited by statute (Election Law, § 330) was not jurisdictional, since there is no provision in the Election Law for the filing of objections to a certificate of acceptance of nomination (see Election Law, § 145). No opinion.
