Martin P. Boryszak Et Al. v. Edward J. Mahoney Et Al‪.‬

Order unanimously reversed without costs and petition dismissed. Memorandum: Strict compliance with Election Law § 6-132 is required where issues of the content of the petition are involved (see, Matter of Hutson v Bass, 54 N.Y.2d 772, 774). There was not strict compliance here because the designee's name written on the petition as circulated was similar, but not identical, to the name of the candidate (see, Matter of Ryan v Board of Elections, 53 N.Y.2d 515; Tsakos v Erie County Bd. of Elections, 83 A.D.2d 983, lv denied 54 N.Y.2d 604).
