A commissioner of elections is eligible for the office of notary public.
A sheriff may simultaneously hold the office of notary public because both are county-related offices.
A member of the legislature may be appointed to an uncompensated office without necessarily vacating the legislative seat.
The county clerk must designate at least one staff notary to be available for the public during normal business hours.
Correct Answer
B. A sheriff may simultaneously hold the office of notary public because both are county-related offices.
AI Explanation
Sheriffs are specifically restricted. The booklet notes under N.Y. Const. art. XIII, §13(a) that sheriffs shall hold no other office. For contrast, Election Law §§3-200 and 3-400 make a commissioner of elections eligible for notary office, and County Law §534 requires a staff notary in the county clerk's office.
