Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
At issue herein is the number of signatures required for a designating petition of a candidate seeking the party position of District Leader, 31st Assembly District, Part A, Queens County.
The Election Law provides that the number of valid signatures required for a designating petition for a District Leader is either 5% of the enrolled voters of the party residing within the political unit in which the position is to be voted ( see, Election Law § 6-136 Elec. [2]) or 500 ( see, Election Law § 6-136 Elec. [2] [i]). The minimum number of signatures required in this case was 500. Since the candidates had only 299 valid signatures, their designating petition was properly invalidated.
To the extent that the appellants seek to challenge the constitutionality of the applicable provisions of the Election Law, the challenge is unreviewable for failure to give timely notice to allow the Attorney-General the opportunity to intervene in these proceedings ( see, CPLR 2214; Executive Law § 71 Exec.; Matter of McGee v. Korman, 70 N.Y.2d 225; Matter of Checchia v. Tioga County Bd. of Elections, 231 A.D.2d 752, 754).
The appellants' remaining contention is without merit.
Bracken, J.P., Altman, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
