In the Matter of Haig Khtikian, Respondent, v. William J. Van Wart et al., Individually and Constituting the Board of Elections of the County of Westchester, Appellants.

Opinion:
Order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated October 28, 1971, reversed, without costs, and application for absentee ballot denied. The time limitations for making applications for an absentee ballot are prescribed in subdivisions 2 and 6 of section 117 of the Election Law and must be strictly complied with. Since respondent failed to do so, he was not entitled to an absentee ballot. Rabin, P. J., Hopkins, Christ, Brennan and Benjamin, JJ., concur.
