IN RE PETITION OF FIFTEEN REGISTERED VOTERS, CTY. OF SUSSEX

129 N.J. Super. 296 (1974)

323 A.2d 521

IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF FIFTEEN REGISTERED VOTERS OF THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX ON BEHALF OF JOAN M. FLANAGAN, CANDIDATE FOR THE OFFICE OF COUNCILMAN IN AND FOR THE TOWNSHIP OF SPARTA IN THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided July 12, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Craig U. Dana argued the cause for appellant Harry C. Wright (Messrs. Morris, Downing & Sherred, attorneys; Mr. David L. Jubanowsky, on the brief).

Mr. Emanuel A. Honig argued the cause for petitioners-respondents (Messrs. Honig and Honig, attorneys; Mr. Richard E. Honig, on the brief).

Before Judges FRITZ, LYNCH and MICHELS.

The opinion of the court was delivered by FRITZ, J.A.D.

At issue in this election dispute is whether 294 write-in votes for a candidate for council in Sparta Township should be counted for Harry C. Wright, an active candidate for the office, as the board of canvassers and county board of elections decided, or should be disregarded, as the judge below determined, because they were voted only for "Wright" or "Mr. Wright" and without a first name or initial.
