N.Y. Election Law § 6-212: 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.
