A commissioner of elections or inspector of elections is eligible for the office of notary public.
A sheriff may hold the office of notary public at the same time because both are county-related offices.

A person removed from office as a New York City commissioner of deeds is thereafter ineligible again to be appointed as such commissioner.
Correct Answer
B. A sheriff may hold the office of notary public at the same time because both are county-related offices.
AI Explanation
Sheriffs are singled out as incompatible officeholders. The booklet cites Article XIII, §13(a) of the New York Constitution for the rule that sheriffs shall hold no other office. For contrast, Election Law §§3-200 and 3-400 expressly state that certain election officers are eligible for the office of notary public.
