2006 New York Code - Designations And Nominations, Objections



 
    §  6-212. Designations and nominations, objections. Written objections
  to  a  nominating  or  designating  petition  or  to  a  certificate  of
  nomination,  certificate  of  acceptance,  certificate of authorization,
  certificate of declination or certificate of substitution  with  respect
  to  an  office to be filled at a general or special village election may
  be filed not later than the day after the last day to file such petition
  or certificate, or  the  day  after  such  petition  or  certificate  is
  received  by  the  board of elections if such petition or certificate is
  mailed within the time permitted by law,  whichever  is  later.  Written
  specifications  of  the  grounds  for  such objections shall be so filed
  within  two  days  thereafter.  A   failure   to   file   such   written
  specifications  shall  render the original objection null and void. Upon
  receipt of written specifications, the county board of  elections  shall
  immediately  notify each candidate named in such petition or certificate
  and take all steps necessary and consistent with this chapter to  render
  a   determination  on  the  questions  raised  in  such  objections  and
  specifications. When a determination has been made by the  county  board
  of  elections  that the petition is sufficient or insufficient, it shall
  immediately notify each candidate named in the petition or  certificate,
  and, if such determination was made on objection, the objector.
