Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Suffolk County Board of Elections was not named as a party to this proceeding, and only one of the two Election Commissioners who comprise the Board was named as a party. The named Commissioner does not have the authority to unilaterally act for the Board, since, by statute, all Board actions require a majority vote of the Commissioners (see, Election Law § 3-212; Matter of Conlin v. Kisiel, 35 A.D.2d 423, affd 28 N.Y.2d 700; Matter of Buhlmann v. Wilson, 96 Misc.2d 616). The proceeding therefore was properly dismissed due to the petitioner's failure to join as a necessary party the remaining Commissioner or the Board of Elections (see, CPLR 1001 [a]; Matter of Oberle v Caracappa, 133 A.D.2d 241; Matter of Curcio v. Wolf, 133 A.D.2d 188; Matter of Crowe [Board of Elections], 263 App. Div. 935).
In light of this determination, we need not reach the remaining issues raised. Lawrence, J.P., Rubin, Sullivan, Kooper and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
