Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We agree with the Supreme Court that personal service was not properly made upon the candidate pursuant to the order to show cause. Moreover, were we to reach the merits of the case, we would find that the cover sheets of the designating petition complied with Election Law § 6-134, and the rules promulgated by the Board of Elections (see, Matter of Hirschfeld v. Green, 185 A.D.2d 959 [decided herewith]; see also, L 1992, ch 79). Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller, Ritter and Copertino, JJ., concur.
