§ 8-05 Post-Election Petitions for Review.
RCNY § 8-05
(a)After the Board provides a candidate a written determination specifying the basis for payment or non-payment of public funds after the election, the candidate may petition the Board in writing for reconsideration of such determination.
(b)A petition for review of a post-election payment determination must be submitted within 30 days of the candidate’s final audit report or final board determination, whichever is earlier, and must include: (i) a statement of one or more specific grounds for reconsideration; (ii) information or documentation that was unavailable to the Board previously and is material to such determination; (iii) a showing that the candidate had good cause for the previous failure to provide such information or documentation; and (iv) either a request to appear before the Board concerning the petition or a statement that the candidate waives such candidate's right to appear.
(c)If a petition is moot, facially meritless, or not in substantial compliance with the requirements of this section, it may be rejected, and the candidate will be deemed to have waived the right to appear before the Board. If the petition is not rejected, the Board will timely issue a written determination on the subject of the petition. If the petition is denied, the determination will inform the candidate of the right to appeal such determination pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
