Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Supreme Court properly concluded that the petitioner's designating petition was invalid owing to a complete failure to number consecutively the 87 sheets of the petition in compliance with Election Law § 6-134 (2) (see, Matter of Braxton v Mahoney, 63 N.Y.2d 691). None of the sheets were numbered as required by statute (see, Matter of Braxton v. Mahoney, supra). Under the circumstances, there was not substantial compliance with the statute (cf., Matter of Rosen v. McNab, 25 N.Y.2d 798, 799; Matter of Jonas v. Black, 104 A.D.2d 466, affd 63 N.Y.2d 685; Matter of Frawley v. Regan, 77 A.D.2d 937). Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Sullivan, Lawrence and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
