MATTER OF HESS v. DI PRONIO

Order unanimously reversed, without costs, and petition granted. Memorandum. Section 6-130 Elec. of the Election Law requires each signer of a designating petition to provide his "residence address." A post-office box number is not a residence address as required by the statute. The signatures on lines 1, 9 and 10 of the designating petition are accompanied only by post-office box numbers and are, therefore, invalid. Since the designating petition does not contain the required number of valid signatures, it must be invalidated.
